Open Permits and Title Insurance

Open Permits and Title Insurance

One of the hallmarks of Association Title Services is our Real Estate Agent Educational Enhancement Program. This program was developed for our loyal following of real estate agents who are continuously seeking to enhance their customer base through the educational enhancement offered by our attorneys. As part of our program, we present you with the “Agent Tip of the Week” and hope you find it valuable.

Open permits are not covered by title insurance. Open permits are considered matters of zoning and therefore are excluded from title insurance coverage. This exclusion is located within the fine print (jacket) of the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy. It is important, when processing a transaction, that the title insurance company order a permit search in a timely fashion to afford a buyer the ability to address the open permits with the owner of the property.

Association Title Services is managed solely by real estate attorneys who have almost a century of real estate closing and title experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly for more information on how you can become part of our Educational Enhancement Program.
