Preview of the data included in PermitScope reports. PermitScope is delivered as an email digest; this preview is a visual summary of report contents, not an interactive dashboard. Valuations are the city’s stated figures, shown with their source in the full report. A permit shows a project exists; it never guarantees available work.
How it works

From raw permit feed to a short list worth your morning

Anyone can download the city’s permit file. Almost nobody has time to clean it, merge it, and judge it. That is the work we sell.

1

We ingest Austin’s records daily

Issued-permit records come from the city’s open data portal, and every project is tracked from first sight, so nothing old is ever re-sold as new.

2

The engine qualifies every project

Permits merge into single projects, leads are classified, record confidence is scored, and bad data (missing valuations, implausible values, thin descriptions) is flagged, not hidden.

3

Your digest arrives by email

The projects that match your trade, who leads them, what they imply for you, and a link to the source record for every single one.

Why qualified data

What makes this different from a permit alert

Raw feeds sell you every permit as a lead. One remodel can pull five permits. We merge them into one project, and show our reasoning on every card.

Projects, not permits

In our latest 30-day Austin run: 4,690 permits fetched, 794 excluded as final, expired, withdrawn, or otherwise inactive, and the remaining 3,896 grouped into 3,064 projects.

Qualified, with the reasoning shown

Every project carries a record confidence score and the exact basis for it: how recent, whether a GC is named, whether valuation and square footage are on record, how many permits corroborate it.

Two lead classes, honestly labeled

Class A: a general contractor is named on the building permit. Class B: no GC of record; a trade party or applicant is named instead. Neither class claims any scope is unfilled; the record does not say, and we do not pretend otherwise.

Implied trades, marked as inferred

A kitchen remodel is associated with cabinets, countertops, tile, and fixtures. We map scope to the trades that perform that work, and label it as inference every time.

What we never claim: that a permit guarantees available work, that leads are exclusive (they are not; other firms in your trade may subscribe), or that city valuations are contract prices.

Straight answers

Questions, answered plainly

Where does the data come from?

The City of Austin’s public open data portal, the same records anyone can look up one at a time. You are paying for deduplication, qualification, and trade mapping, not for the records themselves.

Are these exclusive leads?

No. We will not sell you that word. Several firms in a trade can subscribe; your edge is seeing the project the week it issues and knowing who leads it.

Does a listed project mean the GC needs my trade?

It means the scope implies it and the permit just issued. Only the GC knows their sub list. We show our reasoning so you can judge before you spend a minute.

Can I see it before paying?

Yes. The free sample linked above is generated from live records by the same engine that builds the paid digest, and your first two digests are free.
