Permit Data for Real Estate Investors — Project & Property History

Research active renovation and property-history information alongside your other due-diligence sources.

Frequently asked questions

Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours is not here, email [email protected].

How do investors actually use permit data?

Use available permit history to research recorded project activity, dates, and source-published project values before adding a property to broader diligence. A permit record alone does not establish seller intent, property condition, or market value.

Does this replace PropStream / BatchLeads?

No. PermitGrab is a public permit-record research layer, not a title, tax, foreclosure, lien, probate, or valuation product. Use it with the other data sources your underwriting process requires.

Can I export to my CRM (REIPro, InvestorFuse, etc.)?

Yes — CSV export is standard on the Pro plan. Drop into REIPro, InvestorFuse, Podio, REI Blackbook, Mojo Dialer, or any CRM that accepts CSV.

How current is the data?

Freshness varies by municipality and source. Each city page shows its public source, newest published record, and available update cadence. Review those signals for your market rather than assuming every city publishes the same day.

Do records include phone or owner details?

Some sources publish a contractor business name or phone; owner fields can also be available from public property records. Availability varies by city and record, and city pages disclose coverage rather than promising a phone or owner for every permit.

How much does it cost?

Pro is $149/month flat. No annual contract. Cancel anytime. No per-lead fee, no shared-lead surcharge, no surprises.

Can I try before paying?

Yes. Start a 14-day trial to review the cities and public-record fields that matter to your business. A card is required to start; cancel before the trial ends to avoid the monthly charge. Coverage still varies by market.

Can I import the leads into my CRM?

Available records can be exported as CSV on Pro for use in a CRM or internal research workflow. Exported fields reflect what the public source publishes, or what a documented public-record match supports, for that record.
