Look up a name — free, no signup →Counts read directly from the city's open-data portal on 2026-08-03. They change as the city updates its register — the lookup always reads it live, at the moment you check.
Registrations are maintained by the city and can change status over time; the register is the authoritative view.
Yes. The city publishes the register as open data — holder name, status and address are all part of the public record. Our lookup reads that same source and links each line back to it so you can confirm every row with the city rather than trusting us.

Neither. There is no signup, no card and nothing to install. You type a name and read the result.
No. BondPermit is an information service, not a law firm and not the city. We show you the public record and link to the city's own page for each entry; decisions about your properties should be confirmed with the issuing authority.
