PermitGrab helps local contractors turn public permit activity into a practical prospecting workflow. Start with a market, inspect the records and fields available there, then filter and export the opportunities that fit your trade.
Installers can start with a market. Suppliers, manufacturer reps, specialty-service teams, and public-works researchers can choose a source-bounded workflow first. Before payment details, coverage, source dates, and contact fields are shown city by city.
See the address, project type, date, value, and other fields a public source actually publishes. Availability and recency are shown for the market you select.
We retain contractor names and surface contact fields only when they are published by the source or supported by reliable matching evidence.
Some markets publish property and code-enforcement records. They remain separate signals, with their own coverage and freshness—not a blanket promise on every permit.
Supplier territory planning, specialty-service research, and public-works record review use different source fields and limits. Start with the workflow that fits your team—not a generic contact list.
Use the published project type, location, value, and role fields a market actually provides to review construction activity by territory.
A record is project context—not a purchase order, supplier selection, or open bid.
Explore supplier research →Review source-published fire-protection, suppression, alarm, sprinkler, or standpipe context where those fields are available.
Confirm project scope, timing, and the named party’s published role in the primary source.
Explore specialty-service research →For a known prime company, awarding agency, or published project identity in the Washington L&I filing record.
Published filings are historical research context—not procurement availability or a contact directory.
Explore Washington public-works research →Use source-published new-construction context to decide which covered markets or known projects deserve your team’s independent research.
A permit record does not establish equipment demand, a rental reservation, a service order, or an open bid.
Explore equipment and site-service research →A permit can signal related work. Use the source date, published project details, and contact fields available in your market to decide what fits your trade. Public records are not exclusive and do not establish that an owner is seeking bids.

PermitGrab tracks freshly issued building permits from official city and county portals in the markets we list. Browse permits filtered by trade, project value, and neighborhood on any active city page. Each city page shows its public source and newest record date.
Where a jurisdiction publishes code-enforcement records, PermitGrab organizes the available status, description, and source context alongside permit activity. Contractors and property researchers can use repair-relevant classes to research markets and projects. A violation record does not establish a property's condition, the owner's intent, financial situation, or an open request for bids. Verify each official record and any outreach obligation before acting. Cities with violation coverage include New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Austin, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, San Antonio, Orlando, Cleveland, Anaheim, Pittsburgh, and Boston.
When a public source identifies a contractor of record, PermitGrab can organize that permit history into a contractor profile — project count, trade mix, typical value, and service area. We show phone, website, or license details only where a public source or reliable matching evidence supports them. Use the market page to confirm the role, source date, and available fields before acting. See pricing →
Comparing shared consumer leads to public permit research? Start on the contractor lander →
Different trades use public project records differently. A roofing company may research re-roof activity after a hailstorm; HVAC, electrical, and plumbing companies can review adjacent scopes, timing, and project-team context. Filter by trade and project type to find records relevant to your research. A permit does not prove that a project is an open bid.
