{
  "city": "austin",
  "permit_id": "2026-061234 BP",
  "permit_type": "Building Permit",
  "work_description": "Kitchen remodel and roof replacement",
  "status": "Active",
  "issued_date": "2026-06-10",
  "address": "1100 Congress Ave",
  "valuation": 85000,

Use cases

Contractor lead generation — find homeowners/GCs starting projects in your trade (roofing, HVAC, electrical, remodel) the week the permit is issued
Building material & equipment sales — target active job sites by valuation
Market research — construction activity trends by city, neighborhood, project size
Real estate & investment analysis — renovation signals by address

Features

Incremental sync: schedule it daily; it remembers the last permit per city and only fetches new ones (7-day overlap + dedupe, so late-arriving records aren't missed)
Valuation filter: skip small jobs with minValuation
Resilient: per-city error isolation (one city failing doesn't kill the run), automatic retry on rate limits
Optional free Socrata app token for high-volume runs

Pricing

Pay per result — you only pay for permit records actually delivered.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Official city open-data portals (Socrata/ArcGIS). Public records, refreshed daily by most cities.

Why isn't city X included? We only include cities with verified, actively-updated record-level feeds. Dallas (frozen since 2020), Phoenix and Houston (no record-level API) are excluded on purpose — quality over quantity. More cities coming; request yours in the Issues tab.

Can I get this as a daily feed into Sheets/CRM? Yes — use Apify Schedules + integrations (Google Sheets, webhooks, Make/Zapier/n8n).
