How Permit Research Works
Farpace is a construction permit research platform for Los Angeles contractors. Discover construction activity through recently issued permits, review project details from public filings, and access full public record details when you want a complete view of a specific permit.
- 1
Monitor new construction activity
Search recently issued Los Angeles building permits filtered by project type, area, filing party, and issue date. Research remodeling projects, room additions, ADU permits, new construction, electrical, HVAC, and more.

Review project details and filing information
Every permit listing includes the work description, permit date, filing type, permit category, and general area — at no cost. Read the scope before deciding whether to research a filing further.

Evaluate whether a project matches your services
Use filters to focus on the construction activity relevant to your trade. Permits filed by owners or contractors, specific permit types, and neighborhood areas help you identify filings aligned with the work your crew does.

Access full public record details using credits
When a filing looks like a fit, use one credit to access full public record details — property address, official LADBS permit link, and additional filing information. You pay only for records you choose to research further.

Continue with your own verification and follow-up
Farpace provides access to public permit records for professional research. It does not provide outreach, introductions, or guaranteed work. After accessing full public record details, verify filing information through official channels and decide next steps using your own business practices.
