Building permits are public records — every roofing, HVAC, plumbing, solar, or electrical permit a homeowner pulls becomes a high-intent lead. Here's how permit data works and why it beats form-fill aggregators like Angi for SMB contractors.
Real permits filed in the last 7 days. Contractor names and phone numbers unmask on the trial.

Cancel anytime. Your leads aren't resold to four competitors like Angi or HomeAdvisor.
Every count above is live from the PermitGrab database. Here's what's in the product.
Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].
Leads sourced from building permits filed by homeowners with the city or county. Every permit names the property address, the type of work, and (usually) the homeowner or contractor. Because the permit means construction is actually happening, these leads convert at a meaningfully higher rate than form-fill aggregator leads.
Angi/HomeAdvisor sell shared form-fills — one homeowner's contact info goes to 4 contractors at once. Permit leads are different: they're public record data, the work is real (a permit was issued), and PermitGrab subscribers decide who to call rather than racing competitors.
Roofing (re-roof, new roof, repair), HVAC (AC install, furnace, heat pump, ductwork, water heater), plumbing (repipe, gas line, fixture install, sewer), solar (PV install, battery storage), general construction (additions, renovations, new builds), pool, electrical, demo. Filter on each city page by trade.
No. Building permits are public records — every PermitGrab subscriber in a given city sees the same underlying list, but unlike Angi and HomeAdvisor, we don't sell the same lead 5 times to compete with you. You decide who to call.
We collect permits daily from the city and county portals. Most cities show permits within 24-48 hours of issuance. The 'Today's Hot Leads' block on each city page shows permits issued in the last 7 days.
Yes — owner phones where available (from enrichment), plus the contractor's business phone where the permit data publishes it. Coverage varies by city — Phoenix, Miami-Dade, San Antonio currently top 3 by phone count.
PermitGrab is $149/month flat. No annual contract. Cancel anytime. No per-lead fee, no shared-lead surcharge, no surprises.
Yes — CSV export is included on Pro. Works with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, HubSpot, and any CRM that accepts CSV.
