Every new permit.
Every market.
First in your inbox.
Real-time building permit intelligence across 24 states — for the contractors, investors, and home-service pros who can't afford to be second.
Who's using Permit Pulse?
Three different professionals. One shared advantage: knowing what's happening before everyone else.
Land more jobs, faster.
A new permit is a new job opportunity. Get a digest of every residential and commercial permit in your service area three times a week — and show up to quote before the competition even knows to call.
Find deals before Zillow does.
Spot neighborhoods heating up before they hit the market. Track new construction, additions, and remodels by zip code to find your next deal while others are still guessing at prices.
Know your market cold.
Know which streets are growing before your clients do. Use permit data to prospect smarter, impress sellers with real development insights, and answer questions no other agent can.
A permit is a customer, months early.
Contractors, investors, and agents aren't the only ones. Every permit filed is a property about to change — and a shortlist of the businesses that property is about to need.
Pest & Termite Control
New foundations need pre-treatment. Demolition sends rodents to the house next door. Track new-construction and demo filings in your zip codes and get there before the slab is poured.
Lawn Care & Landscaping
A finished build is a bare yard. A new pool is a torn-up one. Know which streets will need sod, irrigation, and a maintenance contract 60–90 days before the truck rolls.
Pool Service & Supply
A pool permit is a recurring customer for as long as you keep the route. Catch every pool filing in your territory the week it’s applied for — not the summer after it’s built.
Finish Trades — Flooring, Cabinets, Paint
Kitchen and bath remodels start with a permit and end with your work. Filter to alteration and remodel filings in your area and quote while the GC is still lining up subs.
Roofing, Windows & Solar
Re-roof filings tell you which roofs are aging out across an entire zip code. A new roof is a solar lead. A solar filing is a gutter, attic, and insulation lead.
Fencing, Decks & Hardscape
Every pool permit comes with a code-required barrier. Every addition pulls a deck, patio, or driveway behind it. The work you sell is already on the filing.
Cleaning, Junk Removal & Dumpsters
Demolition and remodel permits are your whole pipeline. Post-construction cleans and haul-offs, scheduled off the filing date instead of a cold call.
Insurance & Lending
A renovation changes a property’s replacement cost, its value, and its coverage. Reach the owner before the renewal notice does.
If your business gets paid when a property changes, permits are your lead list — and they're public the day they're filed.

I'm not a contractor — is this still useful?
Yes. Permits are filed before work starts, so any business that sells into a property mid-project or after it — pest control, lawn care, pool service, cleaning, finish trades, insurance — gets an address and zip code weeks ahead of the work. Filter to the permit types that matter to you and ignore the rest.
How quickly will I get alerted?
Within minutes of our Monday, Wednesday, and Friday scrapes completing. You'll have the data before most people check their email.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The free plan gives you one zip code across all markets, with permits shown on a 14-day delay. Paid plans remove the delay and add email alerts, more zip codes, and export.
What's the difference between monthly and yearly?
Yearly costs ten months instead of twelve, and it unlocks the full permit archive — every record we hold, back to January 2025. Monthly plans see a rolling 90-day window, which is all you need for chasing new work but not enough for territory planning or year-over-year comparisons.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your dashboard under “Manage billing” — you keep access through the end of the period you’ve paid for. Changed your mind on a yearly plan? Contact us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
