Understanding Residential Building Permit Records

Residential building permits can help show where property owners are repairing, expanding, or improving homes and related structures. Use the address, issue date, contractor, reported value, and description to compare recorded activity. These records do not provide a complete assessment of a property, and permit values may not equal final construction costs. Separate electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing, or solar permits may also be issued at the same address. PermitExplorer compiles these public records for easier research and is not an official City of Decatur permit portal.

PermitExplorer compiles information from publicly available sources. Confirm information that affects a property, project, transaction, or professional decision with the appropriate government office.
