Who it's for
Scattered public records, turned into one dataset teams actually use. A few of the people who rely on it:
Contractors & suppliers
Find active jobs and the licensed contractors behind them — fresh leads by trade and county.
Real estate & proptech
Track construction and renovation activity down to the parcel and address.
Market & investment research
Measure where building is accelerating across regions and trades.
Insurance & risk
Surface roofing, structural, and electrical work as soon as it's permitted.
See exactly what you get
No mystery, no sales call just to view a sample. Every order arrives as one normalized table — one row per record, standardized trades and statuses, geocoded, deduped, with the source ID kept for traceability.
One clean file — not an integration project.
- CSV or Parquet — load it straight into your CRM, spreadsheet, or warehouse.
- Standardized schema — trades and statuses normalized across every jurisdiction.
- Contractor, license & address on every record, geocoded where available.
- Deduped and traceable back to the source municipality and original ID.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly do I get?
A single normalized table (CSV or Parquet) with one row per record — standardized trade categories and statuses, geocoded addresses where available, and the source municipality plus original ID for traceability. See what's in a record.
Is the data on this site free?
Yes — the Live Demo and the county and trade pages are free to explore. They're a sample (Florida, last 90 days) that shows what the dataset looks like. You pay only when you order bulk data for your own scope.
Which areas do you cover?
The free sample covers Florida across 37 jurisdictions. For bulk orders we source nationally from hundreds of municipal systems — tell us your states and counties and we'll confirm coverage.
How much does it cost?
Per-record pricing that scales with volume — from a few hundred dollars for a single-county snapshot to enterprise feeds. You get a fixed quote before paying. No subscription.
Can I use it for contractor leads?
Yes. Each permit names the contractor, license number, address, and work type, so it doubles as a refreshed lead list by trade and county. See the guide.
