Our Virginia Beach data comes from the city's official public permit GIS feed, which the city refreshes in monthly batches — so this market lags the live markets by up to a month rather than updating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each record carries the permit type, issue date, work description, and a full address with ZIP. The city does not publish project valuations or contractor names in this feed.
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.
