Why track a contractor's permit activity?

Building permits are public records. Available records can help you research which businesses appear in a market, the kinds of work represented, and recent project activity. PermitGrab organizes records from public municipal sources; field availability and publication timing vary by jurisdiction, so check a city's source disclosure before using its data for a workflow.

How the numbers are calculated

Counts are calculated from matching records available in the selected market — not an estimate. Total permits is the available matching record count. Last 12 months and last 90 days use the source record date. Trade mix reflects the permit labels the source provides. Matching is partial and case-insensitive, so “ABC Roofing” can surface similarly named business records; use the matched-name list to avoid treating unrelated businesses as one company. Street addresses on recent permits are partially masked here; subscribers can review available record details.

Continue with a market-research workflow

With a subscription, choose the markets and alert preferences relevant to your workflow, then review available public-record details as new source records arrive. A matching permit record is market research context, not a bid, purchase, relationship, or contact-permission signal. Learn the method in our guide to researching contractor activity from building permits, see the lead estimator for a specific city, or browse city coverage.
