View Orlando permit data →A building permit is a dated public record of reported work. In Central Florida, permit categories can help researchers compare how published filing activity varies across trades and over time. A filing does not establish that a property owner is seeking a provider, that work is available to bid, or that a project remains active.

Why Florida Permits Convert
Weather and seasonality can affect which permit categories are published in a market. The public filing alone does not establish an emergency, an owner's motivation, a current need for a provider, or an invitation to contact anyone. Use the source date and published fields as research inputs, and verify any commercial opportunity independently.
Who Should Work the Orlando Feed
HVAC contractors and replacement specialists work the daily changeout filings; roofing and impact-product companies work the storm-driven replacement trades; electrical and plumbing contractors work the service and remodel filings; and fire-protection contractors work the commercial and multifamily sprinkler and alarm permits. Suppliers and distributors use the contractor profiles to target active installers, and real estate investors pair permit activity with property-owner data across the metro.
What’s in Every Orlando Lead
Each permit we publish carries the property address, the permit and work type, the trade category, the filing date, the status, and the contractor of record where the source provides it. Florida publishes contractor-licensing data, and PermitGrab pairs the permit record with contractor profiles and the property owner of record so a dated, permitted job comes with a fast path to the decision-maker.
