Indianapolis is one of the fastest-turning permit markets we track: 5,976 indexed permits, 4,445 filed in the last 30 days, and 1,219 in just the last week. Construction and structural work dominate, and 65% of the contractor profiles ship with a verified phone number.
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 fresh permit address against the owner of record surfaces absentee owners, recent buyers actively investing in their property, and distressed parcels — the buying signals that matter before a property hits the open market.
