Common questions

Where does the Fairfax County permit data come from?

Our Fairfax County data comes directly from the county's official public building-records feed. It covers building permits — residential and commercial, new construction and additions/alterations — and each record carries the record type, issue date, project name, a full address with ZIP, and a link back to the county's permit record. Trade permits (electrical, plumbing, mechanical) and project valuations are not published in this feed. The county stopped publishing new permits to it after 7 August 2026, so this market is a historical archive of permits through July 2026 and is not currently being updated.

Is the Fairfax County data current?

This is a historical archive of Fairfax County 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 Fairfax County?

Yes — across Virginia we also cover Norfolk and Virginia Beach. We also cover markets in Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, Texas, California, Arizona, New York, and Tennessee, and we're actively expanding nationwide.
