Common questions

Where does the Charleston permit data come from?

Our Charleston data comes from the City of Charleston's own public new-construction permit feed, published as open GIS data. Each record carries the permit type and work class, the issue date, a full address with zip, and the declared project value on most records. Two things to know: that feed covers NEW CONSTRUCTION only — single-family and duplex homes, commercial buildings, and multifamily — so renovations, remodels, and standalone electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are not in it; and it stopped publishing new permits after 7 August 2026, so this market is a historical archive of permits through July 2026 and is not currently being updated. Records dated before July 2026 came from the city's previous public source and cover a wider range of permit types.

Is the Charleston data current?

This is a historical archive of Charleston permit records through July 2026 — a complete snapshot you can search anytime. We are not currently adding new permits for this market.

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.

Do you cover other areas besides Charleston?

Yes — across South Carolina we also cover Charleston County, Horry County, Bluffton, and West Columbia, plus dozens of markets across Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina. We're actively expanding across the Southeast.
