Municipal Data Monitor — Business Licenses & Permits

Municipal Data Monitor — New Business Licenses & Building Permits

Every new business license and building permit issued by major US city governments — updated daily, keyless, straight from official open-data portals.

Cities publish this data for free but nobody packages it. This actor turns raw Socrata open-data feeds into a clean daily lead stream: new businesses with legal names, DBA names, addresses, neighborhoods and issue dates — plus building permits with contractor names, work descriptions and costs.

Who it's for

• B2B lead-gen — insurance agents, banks, payroll companies, CPAs, cleaning/security services: a brand-new business needs everything. Get the list the day it registers.
• Contractors & construction services — watch permit filings by type, value, or neighborhood to find active projects.
• Data buyers — the same business-license records data brokers resell per-record, at $0.001/row.
