Permit issued
The supplier is early
Authorised and not yet bought. Concrete, fencing, rental and the tool account are all still open.
Who it's for
One record, read many ways
A pool permit ends the builder's job and starts the pool service's. The event does not change; where you sit on its curve does. Each section below is a watcher you could build in a minute.
The idea
One pool permit, three different businesses
Finaled, months later
The builder is done
This event closes a job rather than opening one. Selling them another pool is the wrong end of the curve.
The same day
The pool service is early
Day one of a multi-year relationship where the property is the customer.
Trades, suppliers & rental
Bid the job the week it is authorised
Tagged by work type, a permit names the trade, the materials and the equipment on site, dated the day the jurisdiction published it.
- A permit is issued. The spend is authorised and not yet committed.
- An inspection fails. One trade has to come back out, on a deadline.
- A demolition finals. The lot is clear and the new-build chain starts.
Recurring service businesses
Where the property is the customer
The relationship outlasts whoever built the thing. The event that ends a construction job starts yours, and every lead list is built for the builder.
- A pool permit finals. Chemicals, cleaning and a code-required fence, for years.
- Occupancy is granted. Somebody is moving in or opening.
- A sale records. The whole move-in stack fires in one week.
Agents & brokers
Know your farm area better than the listings do
The watcher tells you where money and permission are moving. The address search answers a client question about one house in about ten seconds.
- A sale records. With the price where the state discloses one, day-fresh off the deed.
- A rezoning is filed. Months to years ahead, and it moves everything around it.
- A delinquency opens. A listing conversation before the property is a listing.
Investors, wholesalers & note buyers
Reach the owner while there is still a deal
A tax sale is lagging: by then everyone can see it. The roll that names an owner who stopped paying is leading, and it stages itself as the trouble deepens.
- A balance grows, pull over pull. Which separates a persistent non-payer from somebody who was late.
- A lis pendens is recorded. The opening move, months ahead of a sale or a listing.
- A property is vacated or condemned. Severe distress, and the owner knows first.
Lenders, insurers & risk
Watch the collateral, not just the borrower
A loan book and an insurance book are bets on physical properties that keep changing without telling you.
- Delinquency on a property you hold paper on. Unpaid tax usually precedes everything else.
- A large permit, or a stop-work order. The condition and the value are both moving.
- A condemnation or demolition. The structure you priced may not be standing.
Government & institutions
Your own jurisdiction, from the outside
You already hold your own permit system. What you cannot easily do is read it beside your code cases, your delinquent roll and your vacancy register as one picture, or compare it to the county next door on the same footing.
- Blight as a standing condition. Vacant, condemned and delinquent on one parcel is one query, not four departments.
- Development pressure, ahead of permits. Rezonings lead construction by months to years.
- Clearance, tracked to the lot. For a land bank, the cleared parcel is the inventory.
Before you buy
How reachable each lead actually is
Public records name people. They do not publish everybody's phone number.
Contractors, where a registry exists
Where a jurisdiction publishes a joinable licensing feed, the business on the permit carries contact details.
57k businesses with a contact
Property owners, everywhere
Off the assessor's roll, with the absentee signal. Direct mail works today; phone and email do not, because no public record carries them.
1.3M parcels on file
Named individuals
Inspectors and other named people appear as context on the records they signed. Only businesses become contactable.
