Ranked by permit volume in 2026 so far. Counts include only permits that publish a permittee phone number.
Seattle names a contractor on roughly one permit in ten, and we have to match that company against the state licence registry to find a phone. Austin publishes the phone directly. New York goes further: the permittee's business name, phone, licence type, licence number and the individual who pulled the permit are all on the public filing. You know who to ask for before you dial.
What New York does not publish on this feed is a job value. Rather than estimate one, every NYC lead says "value not stated". We would rather be short a number than invent one.
$89/month, flat — and it covers Seattle, Austin and every city we add. Cancel anytime.
