Once logged in you can search for Address that "contains" a street you are interested in.
The "Permit Info" tab will have a line like: "Short Description: 3/2/0, BELLEVILLE-A (GPC), 124V/33". Here you can see the number of bedrooms & bathrooms, the house model, and the... I think it's section or something.
You can also search for Description "contains" and type in the model. You'll probably get a lot of results, but they are sorted by time, so you can hop to the last page. That info can be used to find streets where Verandas (or whatever) are being built. e.g. You search for a model, Monroe. Find the street(s) recent ones are being built on. Then go back and search for those street names to find all the models in that series that are being built on that street. Rinse and repeat until you are bored or overwhelmed with information.
On the "Permit Info" tab is a list of attachments; among them are the plans for the house.
Quite handy! |
Thanks again. I just started poking around today. Very informative. I once asked a Villages realtor for an “as built” floor plan for a listing - had more bathrooms than typically- and now I know where his file came from.
An observation about looking for a certain model or model on a given street - once you search for description/contains/Winslow (for instance), if you then place your cursor on the permit-ID field you can click/toggle and the system will display them 3 different ways, one of which is descending permit order with the newest at the top. Look for 2022/2021 etc for example BDWW2022-1600. Chances are, you are then looking at the names of the new streets and the most recently permitted lots. A quick corroboration with the villages sales site bears that out.
Happy hunting!
