Building Permits Feed
Get new building permits from 13 major US and Canadian jurisdictions in one consistent format, straight from each city's official open-data portal.
Cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Cincinnati, Baton Rouge, Mesa, Corona, Marin County, Calgary and Edmonton.
Who uses it
- Contractors and trades (roofing, solar, HVAC, pools, electrical, plumbing) looking for homeowners and builders with active projects.
- Building-material suppliers and equipment rental firms finding job sites early.
- Real-estate investors, lenders and insurers tracking development and renovation activity.
- Market researchers measuring construction activity by city and project type.
Why this feed
Every city publishes permits differently: different column names, date formats, cost fields and contractor layouts. This Actor maps all of them into one schema, so a single run gives you a table you can sort, filter and load into a CRM.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| city | Jurisdiction |
| permitNumber, permitType, workType, status | The permit and what kind of work it covers |
| description | The city's description of the work |

| link, source | Link to the city's permit record (where available) and the source dataset |
Filters
- Days back: permits from the last N days.
- Minimum project value: for example 50,000 to focus on larger jobs.
- Keywords: roof, solar, pool, ADU, demolition, new construction, HVAC and so on.
- Only permits naming a contractor: for B2B prospecting.
- Maximum per city: keeps one large city from crowding out the rest.
Notes
Fields are filled only where a city publishes them; for example, not every city publishes contractor names or project values. Data freshness follows each city's own update schedule, usually daily. Some cities list owners who are private individuals; use this data in line with applicable privacy and marketing laws. Plot Point Technologies is not affiliated with any city government.
