Indianapolis punches above its size on permit velocity. PermitGrab tracks 5,976 indexed permits in the city, but the striking number is the pace: 4,445 permits filed in the last 30 days ending June 16, 2026, and 1,219 in the most recent 7 days. Nearly three-quarters of everything we hold was filed this month — this is a live, fast-moving feed, not a stale archive.

What Indianapolis Is Building

The Indy mix is weighted toward construction and structural work rather than the mechanical service trades, which makes it a general-contractor and remodeler market first. The last 30 days:

General construction — 2,398 permits. Remodels, additions, commercial buildout, and new residential — over half of all filings.
HVAC — 762 permits. Changeouts and installs.
Structural — 501 permits. Foundations, framing, and structural repair.
Electrical — 367 permits and plumbing — 207 permits.
Landscaping and exterior (108) and signage (97) round out the list.

65% of Indianapolis Contractors Ship With a Phone Number

This is where Indianapolis stands out. PermitGrab tracks 501 contractor profiles in the city, and 325 of them — about 65% — carry a verified phone number. For suppliers and distributors targeting active installers, and for B2B service companies selling to contractors, that is a directly actionable contact rate on top of the verified property address attached to every permit.

Plus 97,079 Property-Owner Records

For the investor and home-service side, PermitGrab also tracks 97,079 property-owner records in Indianapolis. Crossing a permit address against the published owner of record can support property research and ownership verification. It does not establish a seller's motivation, a buyer's plans, or an invitation to contact the owner.

Who Should Work the Indianapolis Feed

General contractors and remodelers own the 2,398-permit construction caseload that leads the market. Structural and foundation specialists map to the 500-plus structural filings. HVAC, electrical, and plumbing contractors work the service trades. Suppliers and distributors use the 65% phone coverage to reach active installers directly. And investors pair permit velocity with the 97,079-record owner file to find motivated sellers.
