Permit Pulse monitors every new building permit issued by the City of Ann Arbor, MI and delivers a digest to Pro subscribers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Residential and commercial alterations and additions, windows and doors, decks, foundations, radon systems, solar, demolition, fire suppression, and the full electrical, mechanical, and plumbing trades.
In real estate and construction, timing is everything. Permit Pulse puts Ann Arbor permit data in your hands before your competition even knows to look.
Ann Arbor issues roughly 1,500 construction permits a month, and every one carries a written scope of work plus a full address with ZIP. The mix is trade-heavy — HVAC, electrical, and plumbing — with a steady stream of residential alterations, additions, and window-and-door work behind it. We filter out the city's right-of-way, noise, block-party, and parking records so you only get work on buildings.
Track new construction and renovation across every Ann Arbor ZIP. In a market where rental stock turns over constantly, permit flow is the earliest public signal of real reinvestment — and about a quarter of permits carry the declared project valuation.

Our Ann Arbor data is sourced from the city's official public permit records via its STREAM self-service portal, updated Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each record carries the permit type, issue date, a written scope of work, and a full address with city and ZIP on essentially every permit. The city publishes a declared valuation on about a quarter of its permits — building permits carry one, the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing majority does not — and does not publish a contractor name in its search results, so we do not report one.
Pro subscribers receive a digest every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after our system runs. You'll have the data the same day it's pulled.
