Minneapolis, MN Plumbing Permit Leads: 424 Active Plumbers, Phones Included (2026)

If you sell to plumbing contractors — fixture and water-heater distributors and supply houses, pipe and fitting wholesalers, plumbing software, dispatch, and financing vendors, drain and water-treatment add-on companies — or you run a plumbing shop and want to see exactly who is winning work across the metro, Minneapolis is one of the most reliable plumbing markets in the country. Unlike storm-driven trades, plumbing files at a steady weekly clip: water heaters fail, pipes freeze and burst through a Minnesota winter, and every kitchen or bath remodel pulls a plumbing permit. Almost every real plumbing job is permitted, so this stream rarely goes quiet.

Over the last 90 days PermitGrab indexed 1,316 plumbing permits across Minneapolis, with 764 filed in just the last 30 days. The newest record in the category is dated June 24, 2026, and the feed refreshes as Minneapolis publishes its permit batches. City-wide, PermitGrab indexed 4,235 Minneapolis permits over the same 90 days.

The Phone-Verified Plumber List

Most lead products hand you an address and nothing to dial. This one is different. PermitGrab matches Minneapolis permit activity against Minnesota's Department of Labor & Industry contractor-licensing file so the plumbers pulling these permits carry a real number. In Minneapolis that means 424 plumbing contractor profiles, of which 268 carry a working, deduplicated phone number — about 63% phone coverage. That is a dial-ready roster of plumbing contractors you can prove are actively working, not a stale directory.

We are deliberate about the phone count. A single busy contractor can appear on dozens of permits, but you get one number, not dozens — the figure that matters for outreach is 238 distinct business phone numbers, every one tied to a company that pulled a real Minneapolis plumbing permit.

Who Is Actually Pulling the Permits

The most active plumbing contractors in Minneapolis by recent permit volume include MN Plumbing & Home Services, Urban Pine Plumbing and Mechanical, Hurlburt Heating & Plumbing, Master Plumbing Services, Bonfes Plumbing Heating and Air Service, Paul Bunyan Plumbing, Dean's Professional Plumbing, Erik Nelson Plumbing, Champion Plumbing, Apollo Plumbing, Barnes Plumbing Co, and Affinity Plumbing. These are real, named businesses pulling permits this quarter — not anonymized rows. Each profile on the list ties a company name to its trade, recent permit activity, and (where matched) a working phone number.

Why a Permit-Built List Beats a Bought Directory

Static contractor directories go stale the moment they ship: numbers disconnect, shops close, and you have no idea who is actually busy. A permit-built list is the opposite — it is a running record of which plumbers are pulling work right now. When a plumbing contractor files a water-heater changeout, a repipe, or a remodel rough-in in Minneapolis this week, they show up in the feed this week. That is the difference between calling a list of businesses and calling a list of businesses you can prove are working.

Freshness Is the Point

A plumbing list bought a year ago is mostly disconnected numbers and out-of-business shops. This one refreshes as Minneapolis publishes — 764 plumbing permits in the last 30 days alone — so the numbers you dial belong to plumbers working right now. Browse the live city feed on the Minneapolis permits page, compare the metro's other mechanical trades in HVAC permit leads in Minneapolis and roofing permit leads in Minneapolis, size the opportunity with our free permit lead estimator, read the method behind it in our guide to contractor leads from building permits, or see PermitGrab pricing for the full named list delivered daily.

One more thing on cost: shared lead networks resell a single homeowner to four or five contractors, so a booked job can cost $200–250 in lead fees. PermitGrab is a flat $149/month, never resold — you reach the plumbing contractor, supplier, or owner the day the permit files.
