the part everyone else skips
The export gives you six fields. The detail page gives you the job.
Anyone can download the county's permit list. It tells you a permit type and an address, which is close to useless. The detail page behind it has the owner, the contractor, the project scope and the dollar value — and that's what we parse, on every single record.
| What we pull | What the county export gives you | |
|---|---|---|
| Property owner | Name, address, phone where published | Not included |
| Contractor | Name, phone, email, license number | Not included |
| Project detail | Full description, scope, materials, dimensions | A short note, often blank |
| Project value | Estimated value as filed | Not included |
| Structural info | Floor area, construction type, plan review flags | Not included |
| Parcel | Parcel number, for cross-referencing | Not included |
how routing works
A permit is a job somebody else already won. The money is in what comes after it.
The contractor who pulled the permit has the work. You want the trade that gets called three weeks later — and the homeowner who doesn't know they need you yet.
| They pulled this | Which means they'll need | So we route it to |
|---|---|---|
| Pool installation | Fence (required by code), landscaping, deck, lighting | Fencing, landscape, hardscape |
| Reroof or tear-off | Solar, gutters, fascia and soffit, exterior paint | Solar, gutter, handyman |
| Kitchen remodel | Flooring, backsplash, appliance install, paint | Flooring, tile, handyman |
| Electrical panel upgrade | Outlets, fixtures, ceiling fans, smart devices | Electrician, handyman |
| HVAC replacement | Thermostat, duct cleaning and sealing, filter cabinet | Handyman, duct cleaning |
| Wrecking or demolition | Haul-away, site prep, foundation, rebuild | GC, concrete, excavation |
| Flood permit | Water damage remediation, elevation, drainage | Restoration, drainage |
| Room addition or ADU | Flooring, paint, trim, closets, window treatments | Handyman, flooring |
Who pulled permit A and still hasn't filed permit B?
A pool permit was issued on Bombay Drive fourteen days ago. No fence permit on file. In Marion County a pool fence isn't optional — so that's a homeowner with a deadline, a budget already approved, and no fence contractor yet. That's the alert you get.
what's in the feed
Filtered down to the records that are actually worth calling.
Adjacency routing
Pick your trade and we send you the permits that create work for you, not the ones you'd have competed for.
Missing-permit alerts
Permit A filed, permit B still missing after your chosen window. The highest-intent signal in the whole feed.
Owner and contractor contact
Names, phone and email as published on the permit record, with the source field labelled so you know who you're calling.
Project value
Estimated value as filed, so you can skip the $800 jobs and chase the $60,000 ones.
Pre-construction window
Filter to permits that are approved but not yet started — roughly a quarter of the feed, and the best moment to reach a homeowner.
Development hotspots
When ten permits land on one street, that's a subdivision going up and a batch of leads, not ten separate calls.
High-ticket triggers
Wrecking permits, asbestos notifications, flood permits and variances — low volume, big jobs. July had 64 wrecking and 84 flood permits.
Noise removed
Contractor license registrations, blank self-certification tags and bad addresses are stripped out before you see the feed.
ZIP-level targeting
Set the ZIPs you actually drive to. Starter covers one, Growth covers three, Pro covers the metro.
for handymen and property maintenance
You don't need a permit to fix a fence. You need to know whose fence has a deadline.
Permits are for licensed trades. The other two feeds — open code violations and eviction filings — are where the small, fast, unpermitted work lives.
A property owner has an open violation and a compliance deadline. Fix it before the city fines them and you're doing them a favour, not a cold pitch.
- Violation type, description and compliance deadline
- Property owner name and address
- Sorted by urgency — deadlines inside 14 days first
- Repeat-violation addresses flagged as ongoing maintenance prospects
A tenant is leaving. The unit needs paint, patching, cleaning and locks before it can be re-listed, and the landlord wants it done this week.
- Filing date, disposition and writ date, so you know the timing
- Landlord or property manager contact, never the tenant
- Residential only — commercial filtered out
- Corporate and LLC owners flagged as repeat-business prospects
why we built this
Permit data isn't rare. Permit data you can act on is.
The existing platforms sell access to records. They're priced for enterprise research teams, and they leave the hard part — deciding which record means work for you — entirely up to you.
| ArsenalData Permits | Enterprise permit databases | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical price | $79–299/mo, published | $200–2,000+/mo, quote-based |
| Built for | One contractor working a few ZIPs | Research, analytics and enterprise teams |
| Routing | Filtered to the trade you actually are | Search and filter it yourself |
| Missing-permit signal | Built in | Not offered |
| Violations & evictions | Included as separate feeds | Permits only |
| Follow-up | CRM, sequences and printed mail in the same tool | Export and figure it out |
| Coverage | Marion County today, expanding | National |
Coverage is the one place they beat us today, and we'd rather say so than hide it.

Any permit, violation or eviction becomes a contact with the property record already attached.
Sequences per trade
Text and email templates written for fencing, roofing, solar and turnover work, with consent language built in.
Printed mail
Postcards and letters sent from any record, or dropped in as a step between the text and the follow-up call.

New lead through closed job, with reminders so nothing sits untouched for a week.

questions, answered
What contractors ask before they sign up.
Isn't permit data already free from the county?
The list is free and it's six fields — date, case number, type, status, address and a short note. What you're paying for is the detail page behind each one, parsed into owner, contractor, scope and value, then routed to your trade. Doing that by hand for 199 records a day is the actual job.
Can I call the phone number on the permit?
These are public records, but public doesn't mean consented. Calling and texting are governed by their own rules, and a number listed on a permit may belong to the applicant rather than the homeowner — we label which field it came from. Our compliance guide covers what applies, and the templates in the CRM include consent language. Following it is on you.
Do you sell my competitor the same lead?
Leads route by trade, so a fencing contractor and a solar installer never receive the same alert. Within a single trade in a single ZIP, we cap how many subscribers we take — the point of adjacency routing is that it stops being useful if everyone gets everything.
Why only Marion County?
Because routing logic has to be tuned per market, and we'd rather do one county properly than six badly. The scrapers work against portal software used by hundreds of cities, so expansion is a matter of sequencing, not rebuilding. Add your market to the list and it moves up the queue.
Is the eviction feed just profiting from someone losing their home?
Fair question. The record is public, the work is real, and the person hiring is the landlord who now has an empty unit. We publish the landlord side only and never the tenant's information, and we don't sell this feed to anyone whose business is the tenant rather than the property.
