Frequently asked questions

How is PermitGrab different from a contractor profile platform?

PermitGrab is a public-record research workflow. It organizes permit activity, source dates, and fields by city; it does not provide a consumer-facing contractor profile or promise a sales outcome.

Are permit records a homeowner enquiry?

No. A permit can describe a project, but it is not proof that an owner is seeking another contractor or wants a bid.

Are the records exclusive?

No. The underlying building-permit records are public and may be available from the publishing jurisdiction.

Will every market include contact details?

No. Contractor, owner, and contact fields differ by jurisdiction and record. Review the relevant city page to see what is currently available.

How current are the records?

Publishing cadence varies by source. Each city page identifies the source and newest displayed record so you can assess it directly.
