Keep permit status and available documents separate
For a Raleigh house with an addition, conversion or unfinished work, note which project each record belongs to. The city’s Development Records page connects permits, inspection information, occupancy records and enforcement information through its portal. It also explains that downloadable documents vary by project date and type. If a record is missing, distinguish a document you could not download from a project you know was never reviewed. That helps a buyer identify the right follow-up question without assuming the record search answers everything.
Helpful details to begin
- Current use of additions or converted rooms
- Known permit or inspection references and any missing documents
- Repairs you want to avoid and the timing that matters to you
