- While it is not a requirement by HUD to have a formal report, the P&A report provides a concise and third-party verified check via due diligence research on the acceptability of a pending or current structure.
The main purpose of the report is to analyze the requirements of the local, state or federal jurisdictions and determine what permits and approvals are or were required to construct or operate a property.
Depending upon the type of property being covered, a Permits & Approval Report analysis includes:
Documented research of permits and approvals required for the property, including certificates, permits, approvals, licenses, and qualifications issued by governmental authorities, including, but not limited to:
- Building permits
- Zoning permits
- Special use permits
- Variances
- Demolition permits
- Construction licenses
- Certificates of occupancy
- Business licenses
- Elevator permits
- Swimming pool permits
Full zoning analysis, including, but not limited to:
- A formal letter or response from the municipal jurisdiction confirming the zoning district and designation
