Permit Pulse monitors every new structural building permit issued by the City of Salem, OR and delivers a digest to Pro subscribers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. New single-family homes, ADUs, duplexes and multifamily, commercial construction, additions, alterations, solar arrays, and seismic retrofits — the work that changes a building, in Oregon's capital.
In real estate and construction, timing is everything. Permit Pulse puts Salem permit data in your hands before your competition even knows to look.
Salem publishes its structural permits — new dwellings, ADUs, townhomes, commercial work, additions, alterations, solar, and seismic retrofits — with the work class and a written description of the job. Standalone electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are not part of this feed, so this is a new-and-altered-construction list rather than a full trade list.
Track new construction and renovation across every Salem ZIP. Structural permits are the clearest signal of real capital going into a property — an alteration or an ADU, not a water-heater swap.
Know which Salem neighborhoods are adding homes and ADUs the week the permit is issued. Filter by ZIP and work class to prospect smarter in the Willamette Valley.

Our Salem data comes from the city's own public GIS publication of its structure-permit records, updated Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each record carries the work class, a written description, the issue date, and a street address; we recover the ZIP from the free US Census geocoder and the permit's mapped location, which fills it on essentially every record. Two limits worth stating plainly: the feed covers STRUCTURAL permits only — standalone electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are not in it — and the city republishes it as a rolling twelve-month window, so our Salem history begins when we started tracking it. Salem does not publish a project valuation or a contractor name here, so we do not report them.
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.
