The Problem with Traditional Lead Services in Miami
Miami contractors typically pay $30–75 per shared lead through services like Angi, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack — and those same leads get sold to 4–5 competitors. For a market this active, that's a losing model.
What Growing Miami Contractors Do Instead
Every building permit filed in Miami is public record. PermitGrab tracks 16,238 active building permits in Miami alone, plus 5,353 code violation records — both updated daily from the city's open data feeds.
That means 4,062+ published contractor names appear on Miami permit records. Where the city supplies them, PermitGrab keeps the published contractor field, permit type, project description, declared project value, and phone field together. A permit record documents a filing or issuance; it does not identify a bid, a request for service, or permission to contact anyone.
The Miami Advantage
Luxury high-rise activity and post-storm rebuilds keep Miami's permit volume high year-round. Published permit records can help a team prioritize an address, scope, or labelled role for independent research; they do not report bid timing, vendor selection, a request for service, or permission to contact a person named in the record.
