Integration Notes

  • City of Ventura uses a dedicated EnerGov portal. The API auto-detects this jurisdiction from the permit number format.
  • Permit data is cached for 4 hours. The data_freshness object in every response shows when the data was last fetched from the portal.
  • Pro and Enterprise plans can use force_refresh=true to bypass the cache and fetch live data.

The SignedOff API provides programmatic access to City of Ventura building permit status via the EnerGov portal. Developers can query permit status, inspection results, and processing milestones as structured JSON without manual portal lookups.
