Buyers and renters check a property for open code cases and unpermitted work before they commit. Homeowners confirm a contractor pulled the permit they paid for, and that it closed. Neighbors look up a problem property near them. Investors, agents, and inspectors fold the violation and permit history into due diligence. Paid services charge per report for these public records; the city's data is open, so this tool is free.
The code-enforcement violations reported against a Charlotte property: the open and closed code cases, what each was for, and its current status.
It is pulled live from City of Charlotte GIS each time you search; nothing is cached on our end. The coverage line under each tab states the exact span that dataset covers, so you always know how fresh the records are.
Only properties with a record on file appear. Many properties have no open violation, which is normal, not an error. Try the street name on its own, or a nearby address.
A violation is a case the city opened. Its status (open, closed, or resolved) tells you where it stands, so read the status on each record instead of assuming a listed violation is still active.
It is what City of Charlotte GIS publishes openly, which is the city's own record. For the certified file, or for very recent activity that has not synced yet, use the official city portal linked under the results.
