Over the last 30 days, PermitGrab indexed 1,279 building permits across Shelby County, Tennessee, and the freshest record is dated June 20, 2026. This is not a stale annual dump — it is a rolling, near-daily pipeline of real construction activity across Memphis and the surrounding county.
From those permits we built 71 distinct contractor profiles, 65 of which carry a working phone number — roughly 92% phone coverage on the deduplicated contractor list. We want to be straight about the math: only a fraction of raw permit rows publish a contact phone in the county source data, so the figure that matters is 79 distinct contractor phone numbers, not the raw permit count. One busy electrical contractor might appear on 30 permits; you get one phone number, not thirty. That is the honest, dial-ready figure.
Who Is Working Shelby County Right Now
The trade breakdown tells you where the activity is. The most active contractors are Electrical (25 profiles), HVAC (24 profiles), and Plumbing (15 profiles) — the mechanical trades that pull permits constantly and buy supplies constantly. If you distribute electrical gear, HVAC equipment, or plumbing fixtures, this is a target list of shops demonstrably active this month, not businesses that may have closed two years ago.
Who This Helps
HVAC and electrical supply houses reach 49 mechanical-trade shops actively pulling permits. Plumbing wholesalers and fixture reps get 15 active plumbing contractors with permit history to reference on the call. Roofing, solar, and GC subcontractor recruiters can read the new-construction and renovation profiles for jobs that need subs. And insurance, bonding, software, and fleet vendors reach small businesses that are demonstrably spending money to operate.
Pair Permits With Violations
Because Shelby County also publishes code-enforcement data, this market pairs naturally with violation-driven outreach. A permit tells you who is already working; a violation tells you which property owners are about to need a contractor. Contractors who want to be first in line on distressed-property work can layer both signals.
Freshness Is the Point
A contractor list you bought 18 months ago is a list of disconnected numbers and bankruptcies. This list refreshes as the county publishes — newest record one day old — so the numbers you dial are attached to contractors who pulled a permit in the last 30 days.
