From public record to a lead you can act on
We monitor city permit systems, classify projects into supported trades, and deliver matching opportunities to the contractor who holds that territory.
We classify the work
Records are checked for trade, ZIP, project scope, valuation, and filing status before appearing as examples.
You receive matched leads
Your digest contains only your chosen ZIP and trade. No competing subscriber gets the same Permit Leads territory.
Live coverage
“Scanned” includes every permit record monitored. Trade counts are the subset pre-matched to a supported trade; classification and subscriber matching happen afterward.

Recent classified high-value permits
Contractor-scale examples across our markets (roughly $5k–$500k declared valuation when published; LA often omits valuation). Civic megas and demolition/new-construction outliers are filtered out. “Classified” does not mean the project is uncontracted or guarantee a sale; confirm status with the issuing city before outreach. Read our methodology.
