Building permits from new buildings to renovations, home jobs like solar, roofing and HVAC, and new restaurants. Each permit lists the address, type of work and status, plus the job value and contractor when the town publishes them.
Tell us your market and we’ll send recent records from it.
New buildings, additions, renovations, tenant fit-outs and demolitions from 240+ town and county feeds. Permits come geocoded and tagged by trade, with the valuation and contractor wherever the town records them, and each status change we see.
Built for building-product and equipment suppliers, developers and lenders, commercial real estate, and anyone who sells to a business before it moves in.
One record per place, by name: restaurants, bars, cafés and bakeries across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. We tie liquor license applications, health permits, company registrations and build-out permits to the same address, so about 3 in 10 places show up before they open, and each record fills in as new filings land.
Built for POS and payments companies, food and beverage distributors, equipment, linen and waste services, insurers and staffing agencies: anyone who wants to be first through the door.
Permits on single-family homes, tagged by trade: solar, roofing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, pools. Solar installers can see which competitors are winning which towns, and find the homes that just put on a new roof or upgraded their electrical service.
Built for solar and battery installers, roofers, HVAC and home-services companies, home insurers and warranty providers.

Public records. Building permits come from town and county building departments; restaurant records from liquor licenses, health permits and business registrations. We collect them every day, clean and geocode them, and tie together the records that describe the same place or project.
We check most feeds every day, and many records arrive the same day they're filed. Some towns only publish weekly or monthly; their permits arrive as soon as they post.
