Turn a property list into a source-linked permit evidence bundle.

CivicDataForge matches submitted addresses against one supported government's published STR permit registry. The result separates exact published matches, human-review candidates, invalid input, and honest no-match findings. Every delivered row retains the official source and a record fingerprint.

After you pay through Stripe, the check against the city's official permit records starts on its own and your private results page opens, where you download the report.

One usable property record

Read the evidence. See the follow-up. Keep the file.

Direct deliveries organize your permit results into a private property workspace, with source dates, field-presence details, a follow-up queue and JSON, CSV and printable reports. Weekly monitoring keeps its change history in the same dashboard.

Chicago portfolios also receive an exact-building query of the city’s published building violations. Cases are building context—not unit-level findings. Supported records can include satellite-map and nearby Street View links derived from valid official parcel coordinates, plus reviewed official contact routes. Those links are navigation aids—not imagery analysis, a current inspection, or a property-condition verdict. Other permit jurisdictions retain the permit workspace without implying municipal-case coverage.

What the evidence bundle does differently

If an address is missing from a published source, start with why a no-match is not a legal verdict.

Layer	What is delivered	Why it matters
Match decision	`EXACT_PUBLISHED_MATCH`, `REVIEW_CANDIDATE`, `NOT_FOUND_IN_PUBLISHED_SOURCE`, or `INVALID_INPUT`	A similar address is never silently upgraded into a permit match.
Official lineage	Permit ID, source-defined status, expiration when published, matched address, and government source URL	The buyer can inspect the publisher behind every consequential row.
Tamper evidence	SHA-256 fingerprints for matched source records and hashes binding the input, registry scope, and output	The delivered result can be reproduced and checked after handoff.
Negative-result boundary	Coverage mode and an explicit warning about what a no-match can and cannot prove	Missing from a published feed is not mislabeled as illegal or ineligible.
Monitoring integrity	Failed or incomplete checks are not accepted as a new successful baseline.	Source outages remain visible and cannot silently become a no-match finding.

What your report shows

One row per address you send, read from the city’s published registry at the time of your order. Each row has the city’s own status word, the expiry date, our decision (exact match, near match for your review, not on the list, or still listed after its expiry date), and a link to the city’s record. The report states when the list was read and how many rows it had, and every file carries a SHA-256 fingerprint. To see the cities’ lists as they stand right now, open the live board.

Interpretation boundary: an exact match means the selected publisher returned a permit record for the normalized address in the stated scope. A no-match does not prove illegality, ineligibility, or absence from every government system. Verify consequential facts with the issuing authority.

Request flow

Select a supported jurisdiction and submit 1–25 street addresses through the secure intake above. Unsupported or malformed scope is rejected before payment.
Continue to Stripe with the opaque intake reference. Stripe collects payment and returns you to a private receipt-bound delivery page.
The signed payment event launches the complete supported official-registry query automatically. Transient failures retry safely without starting a second fulfillment.
Save your private access link. Monthly customers use the same dashboard to review weekly checks, changes and billing status.
