Search Aurora permit records
Aurora publishes no general permit record search. The Aurora4Biz View Inspection Results page is the one public lookup: enter the house number, pick the street, and it lists the permits at that address with their inspection results. For permit status the city's own instruction is to call the Building Permit Center at 303-739-7420 or email permitcounter@auroragov.org.
The search accepts address.

How to search
- Open the Aurora permit record search.
- Enter an address.
- Open a result to see the permit's status, inspection history, and issue date.
If the permit does not turn up
Older permits are often missing from online records, and a permit filed under a contractor's name will not surface in an address search that expects the owner. City of Aurora Building Division, Development Services Department (Building Permit Center) can check the paper file.
