For builders, developers, agents and lenders: collect the permit, inspection, certificate of occupancy, contractor-license, lien-waiver, plat, county-record, lender-condition and title-commitment clues before the file turns urgent.
New-construction closings can turn on a practical stack of source documents: permit history, inspection status, certificate of occupancy paperwork, trade licenses, lien waivers, releases, plats, recorded restrictions, lender conditions and the title commitment. This handoff keeps that stack together without deciding the file-specific result.
Name the property, builder, project, permit, inspection, CO source, contractor clue, waiver or release, recorded instrument and title-commitment item. The city, lender, title company, underwriter, surveyor, contractor and legal reviewer still control their own answers.
These sources were checked on October 10, 2026. They help frame the builder closeout packet, but they do not replace city, lender, title, underwriting, contractor, surveyor or legal review.
McKinney's building-inspections page points residential builders to readiness points, commercial files to the new-construction guide and CO packets, and notes that the 2024 International Building Code was among the adopted 2024 codes effective October 1, 2025, with the 2026 National Electrical Code in effect by state law September 1, 2026.
