Permit Recovery Services

Fixing Unpermitted Work • Reopening Permits • Clearing Violations

When a project was started without a permit — or a permit was opened and never closed — Red Tag Rescue steps in and resolves it. We correct the work, prepare documentation, coordinate inspections, and bring your property back into full compliance.


📋 What Is Permit Recovery?

Permit recovery is the process of reopening, correcting, and properly closing a permit that was:

  • Never pulled
  • Opened but never inspected
  • Failed inspection and left unresolved
  • Abandoned by a previous contractor
  • Flagged during a home sale or appraisal

We handle the entire process from start to finish.
