Who pulls a property report

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.

Questions, with answers

Mesa property report: common questions

What is in a property report?

Two public records for a Mesa property: the code-enforcement violations reported against it and the building permits pulled for work on it. Together they show open code cases, what was built or repaired and when, and, where the city records it, who did the work.

How current is this data?

It is pulled live from City of Mesa Open Data 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.

Why isn't my address showing anything?

Only properties with a record on file appear. Many properties have no open violation and no recent permit, which is normal, not an error. Try the street name on its own, or a nearby address, and check both tabs.

Is a code violation the same as an open problem?

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.

Is this every permit and violation?

It is what City of Mesa Open Data 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.

How is this different from a parcel lookup?

Parcel lookup answers who owns a property and its assessed value, from the county. A property report answers what has happened to the building, from the city: violations and permits. They complement each other.
