Understanding Acceptance Criteria for Title Reports in Permit Applications

Many property owners and developers ask whether governmental entities will accept preliminary title reports from U.S. Title Records for building permits and similar applications. This question arises because our services offer convenience and cost savings compared to traditional title companies.

Factors Affecting Acceptance of Title Reports

The acceptance of our preliminary title reports varies significantly based on:

• Local jurisdiction requirements (city, county, or state level)
• Type of governmental office processing your application
• Specific information needed for your particular permit
• Regional variations in title report standards nationwide

How to Ensure Your Title Report Will Be Accepted

Step 1: Contact Your Local Office Directly

Before selecting U.S. Title Records for your preliminary title report, we strongly recommend contacting the relevant governmental office to understand their specific requirements.

Step 2: Identify Required Information

Ask the office exactly what information they need included in the title report. U.S. Title Records can then confirm whether our reports contain all necessary elements.

U.S. Title Records vs. Traditional Title Companies

Traditional title companies typically include language stating:

• They are prepared to issue a title commitment
• Information is generally accurate
• No guarantees until a title policy is purchased at closing

U.S. Title Records offers an additional benefit:

• We guarantee the accuracy of our report information up to the cost of the report
• If information proves inaccurate (with evidence), we provide a full refund
