What does “Permit Finaled” mean on a building permit?

All work and all required inspections are complete and approved — the project is done. At LADBS, 'Permit Finaled' means every inspection passed and the project is finished. On Accela portals there is an explicit warning: 'Final' / 'Finaled' means everything is done and the permit is closed out — it does NOT mean a final inspection is still pending. South Pasadena shows this as 'Closed - Complete' (permit completed successfully with final inspection).

What should you do when a permit shows “Permit Finaled”?

Nothing — the permit is closed out and your project is officially complete. Keep your finaled permit and inspection records; finaled permits matter at property sale and for proving work was done to code. If a Certificate of Occupancy is required for your building type, confirm it was issued.
