Shared leads vs. public permit records

Public permit records are a different kind of input than a purchased lead. They are a project signal for you to research and qualify.

Exclusivity
Shared-lead services

Some lead services sell the same contact to several contractors at once.

Public permit records

Permits are public records that may be available to others. PermitMap does not make them exclusive and does not resell one contact to several buyers.

Timing
Shared-lead services

When a lead reaches you depends on the service and the project.

Public permit records

Timing between a permit record and construction varies by jurisdiction, permit type, and project. Verify status and scope.

Cost
Shared-lead services

You typically pay per lead, with no guarantee it closes.

Public permit records

One flat monthly price for your selected coverage area. No per-lead cost, and no guarantee of jobs or revenue.

Finding Work Without Market Data Is Guesswork

Permit records give you a public, documented view of project activity to research before you decide where to focus.

Guessing Where Work Is

You're relying on word-of-mouth and hoping the phone rings. No visibility into what's actually being built in your market.

Wasting Money on Ads

Spending on digital ads and shared lead platforms with no way to know if you're targeting the right neighborhoods or project types.

Reacting Instead of Planning

Without a view of what is being permitted in your market, it is hard to plan outreach or decide where to focus.

Building Permits Show Where Projects Are Filed

Construction work often requires a permit, and requirements vary by jurisdiction. A permit record documents work that has been filed or issued in a jurisdiction. It is a project signal: it does not prove an owner is shopping for a contractor or that a job is open.

Organizing these records by trade and market helps you research projects and decide where outreach is appropriate. PermitMap does not promise conversion or close rates.
