House numbers and owner names are hidden here. Your list has the full address, the owner's name and the address their mail goes to, as a spreadsheet.

How the list gets made

  1. We read the permit filings

    Every night we check the permit records at each city hall and county building department we cover. Most of them have no export, so nobody else bothers.

  2. We look up the house

    Each permit is matched to the county property record: who owns it, where their mail goes, what the home is worth, and whether they live there.

  3. You get Monday's list

    One email with a spreadsheet, filtered to your trade and your county. Call, mail or door-knock the same day.

Two kinds of leads are on it

Jobs nobody has won yet

The homeowner filed the permit, and no contractor is named on it. They have decided to do the work and they are still choosing who does it.

Owner files for a furnace replacement in Lakewood. No installer listed.

Jobs that need your trade next

A basement finish needs an electrician and a plumber. An addition needs a roof and ductwork. We send you the project while the framing is still going up.

Two-story addition filed in Solon. Roofer, electrician and heating contractor not yet on the permit.

Counties
Your trades

We only email you the list and replies to your questions. Building permits are public records. We sell to contractors only, and we never contact homeowners.

Questions contractors ask

Where does this come from?

Building permits are public records in Ohio. We read them from each city or county building department, then match each address to the county auditor's property record. Nothing is bought from a list broker.

How fresh are the leads?

We check the permit records every night and send the list every Monday. Most rows were filed in the seven days before you get them.

What is in the spreadsheet?

One row per house: date filed, full address, city, what the permit is for, home value, owner name, the owner's mailing address, and whether a contractor is already named on the permit.

Which towns are covered?

The towns listed above, and we add more every month. Some city halls keep permits off the internet; for those we file public records requests.

Do you have phone numbers?

No. Permit and property records list a name and a mailing address. Most customers use the list for postcards, door hangers and door knocking.

How do I cancel?

Reply "cancel" to any email. There is no contract and no cancellation fee.
