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:
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.
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 →
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.
Each city shows badges for the data we publish — permits, contractors, violations, owner records.
