Contractors

Active contractors with phone numbers

We build profiles from permit history — project count, trade mix, service area — then enrich with phone and website from public sources.

Violations & Owners

Code violations meet property owner data

Properties with active violations are motivated sellers. We pair code enforcement records with county assessor data to surface leads for investors, solar installers, and insurance agents.

Building Permit Data Across 98+ Cities

PermitGrab tracks freshly-issued building permits from official city portals in 21 states. Browse permits filtered by trade, project value, and neighborhood on any of our active city pages:

San Antonio Building Permits Miami-Dade Building Permits Chicago Building Permits Phoenix Building Permits New York City Building Permits Los Angeles Building Permits Henderson NV Building Permits Anaheim Building Permits Cleveland Building Permits San Jose Building Permits Buffalo Building Permits Nashville Building Permits Orlando Building Permits

Code Violation Leads for Contractors

Open building code violations are some of the strongest contractor leads you can buy. The owner has a deadline, a fine, and a written reason to hire someone tomorrow. PermitGrab indexes official city violation feeds alongside permit data so you see both in one place. Cities with violation coverage include New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Austin, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, San Antonio, Orlando, Cleveland, Anaheim, Pittsburgh, and Boston.

Real-Time Contractor Intelligence

Every permit in PermitGrab links back to the contractor who pulled it. We build contractor profiles from real permit history — project count, trade mix, typical value, and primary service area — and enrich the most-active ones with phone, website, and license lookups from public sources. That makes it easy to spot who's active in your market, who's busy, and who you're losing bids to. See pricing →

Built for Roofers, HVAC, Electricians, Plumbers & General Contractors

Every trade sees permits differently. A roofing contractor scans for re-roof permits after a hailstorm; an HVAC contractor hunts new-construction and AC replacements in August; an electrician wants solar permits and panel upgrades; a plumber watches sewer-line and water-heater permits. PermitGrab lets you filter the feed by trade so you only pay attention to the permits that match the work you bid.
