Building Permit Leads

From the building permits each city or county publishes on its own open-data site. SurfaceMeasure reads every feed once a day, reads each permit's type and description to tell what kind of work it is, and counts one address per kind. Each place's page names and links its publisher.

Match the permit to the outside work it leads to. A new home needs a driveway, walks and a lawn a few months after the permit; a pool needs a deck; a demolition leaves a lot to grade and pave. Reach the owner or the builder before the work is due, with a price ready. Find Jobs shows each permit's address near you, sorted for your trade, and measures the property from satellite so the quote goes out the same day.

The counts are public so you can see where the work is. The addresses, dates and descriptions are in Find Jobs, inside SurfaceMeasure, where each one opens on the map ready to measure and quote. Find Jobs shows the last 30 days of permits around the home base you set.

Only places that publish permits as live open data, updated at least weekly, with a location for each permit are here. Many towns publish nothing, only monthly reports, or PDFs. The ZIP checker tells you the nearest place we cover.
