How many plumbing permits does Fort Worth file?

Fort Worth filed 2,008 plumbing permits in the last 30 days ending June 16, 2026 — the city's single busiest trade, ahead of HVAC (1,671) and electrical (1,158). The city carries 13,348 indexed permits overall, with 1,124 filed in the most recent 7 days.

How do permit filings differ from a bought homeowner list?

A permit is a dated public record with source-published work and party fields that vary by jurisdiction. It can support market research, but it does not show that an owner wants contact, is choosing a provider, or has work available to bid.

Do Fort Worth plumbing leads include a phone number?

Texas does not publish a statewide plumber-phone file, so contact data is built from the permit record, the contractor of record, and the property owner. PermitGrab tracks 5,047 Fort Worth contractor profiles, 418 of them with a verified phone, and pairs every permit with a verified property address for fast owner lookup.

Which businesses benefit most from Fort Worth plumbing permit data?

Plumbing contractors looking for jobs in their service area, plumbing supply houses and fixture distributors selling into active builders, water-mitigation and restoration crews watching slab-leak and re-pipe filings, and general contractors staffing cross-trade remodels.

How fresh is the Fort Worth permit data?

The feed is refreshed daily. As of June 16, 2026 it includes filings dated through that day, with 5,706 permits in the trailing 30 days and 1,124 in the trailing 7 days.

A building permit is a dated public record of reported work. For a plumbing company, supplier, or trade-services business, it can support research into local filing patterns, permit scope, and the named parties a source actually publishes. It does not establish that an owner is seeking a provider, that work is available to bid, or that a project is still active.

Fort Worth is one of the most active permit markets PermitGrab tracks. The city carries 13,348 indexed permits, with 5,706 filed in the last 30 days and 1,124 in just the last 7 days, refreshed daily through June 16, 2026. And the single busiest trade in that feed is plumbing.

Plumbing Is the No. 1 Trade in Fort Worth

Across the last 30 days, Fort Worth's permit mix is led by the mechanical trades, and plumbing sits at the top:

Plumbing — 2,008 permits. Water heaters, re-pipes, sewer and drain work, gas lines, slab leaks, and new-construction rough-ins.
HVAC — 1,671 permits. Changeouts, new systems, and the cross-sell that overlaps with plumbing on full mechanical jobs.
Electrical — 1,158 permits. Panels, service upgrades, and remodels that frequently pull plumbing alongside.
General construction — 450 permits. Remodels and additions that need a licensed plumber on the job.

For a Fort Worth plumber, 2,008 permitted plumbing jobs in a single month is a standing pipeline that resets every day. The contractors pulling them are visible too: PermitGrab tracks 5,047 contractor profiles in Fort Worth, with 418 carrying a verified phone number — useful both for subcontracting and for supply houses selling into the active builders.

Why Permit Timing Beats a Cold List

The useful timing signal is the published filing date. It lets teams prioritize recent public records for research alongside scope, address, and source-published parties. A filing does not reveal whether a project remains open, whether a provider is being selected, or whether contact is welcome.

Who Should Work the Fort Worth Plumbing Feed

Plumbing contractors can study local filing patterns and published scope. Plumbing supply houses and fixture distributors can research named firms only where the source identifies a contractor of record. Restoration and water-mitigation crews can compare reported plumbing scopes over time. And general contractors can use cross-trade patterns for market research. A permit record is not a request for proposals or an authorization to contact a property owner.

What's in Every Fort Worth Lead

Each permit we publish carries the property address, the permit and work type, the trade category, the filing date, the job status, and — where the source provides it — the contractor of record. Texas does not publish a single statewide plumber-phone file, so contact data is built from the permit record, the contractor profile, and the property owner of record rather than a pre-loaded list. With a dated, permitted plumbing job and a verified address, the owner lookup is fast and the reason to call is already on the record.
