What's in the email

Your trade, not the whole list

Permits are sorted into roofing, solar, pool, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, remodel, new construction and more, using the city's own work type and description.

Close to where you already work

Pick ZIP codes and a radius. Distance is measured from the permit's map location to the middle of each ZIP.

Skip the small stuff

Set a minimum job value. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle report a cost on most permits; Austin's feed doesn't, so Austin permits pass this filter.

Every permit links to the city record

Address, permit number, work description and the contractor of record when the city lists one.

Questions

Where does the data come from?
Each city's own open-data portal: NYC Department of Buildings, LA Building and Safety, Chicago Department of Buildings, Seattle SDCI and Austin Development Services. They publish issued permits every business day (Los Angeles runs a few days behind).
Why permits?
A permit means a job is real and funded. The owner often still needs other trades: a reroof needs gutters, a remodel needs electrical and plumbing, a new pool needs fencing.
What does it cost?
Seven days free, no card needed to start. After that it's $79 a month, billed through Whop, and you can cancel any time.
Which cities are next?
Any city that publishes permits daily with no login, such as San Francisco, Denver and Nashville. Reply to any digest and tell us yours.
