Where do the permits come from?

Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami publish every building permit as public record. We pull both every morning and match each permit to the trades that come next.

Isn't this data free?

Yes, and it is a mess. About 1,100 permits a week across two county systems, in codes like "EXPEDIT CHANGE OUT". We read them all and send you only the ones for your trade, in your ZIP codes.

The full address, the owner of record, the job type, the permit value, the lot size, the date it was issued, and the contractor already on the job when the county lists one.
