What Information Is on a Building Permit?
Quick Answer
Building permits contain: property address, property owner name, project description/scope, permit type, estimated project valuation, contractor of record (if listed), permit status, and issue date. PermitMap extracts and organizes this data so contractors can quickly identify relevant opportunities.
What Information Is on a Building Permit?
A building permit packs more sales-ready detail than most lead sources: the property address, a description of the work, the permit type, an estimated valuation, the filing or issue date, and often the owner or contractor of record. Together those fields let a contractor judge whether a project fits their trade and budget — and reach the right person — without buying a thing.
Key Takeaways
- Address, scope, type, valuation, and date are standard.
- Owner or contractor of record is often listed.
- Enough detail to qualify a job before reaching out.

Property address, project description and type, estimated valuation, filing or issue date, and owner or contractor of record when listed.
Can I qualify a job from the permit alone?
Largely yes — valuation and scope tell you whether it fits your trade and target job size before you make contact.
Using PermitMap to read every permit at a glance
PermitMap extracts the key fields from each permit — address, scope, valuation, filing date, and owner when available — into a clean, sortable feed. For example, a contractor in Miami-Dade County can scan this week's permits and qualify which jobs fit their trade and budget without opening a single county portal.
PermitMap covers Roofing, HVAC, Plumbing permits across Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade County, Hillsborough County and every other county we track, refreshed weekly. Start a 14-day trial (card required) to get this week's scored, ranked permits in your inbox every Monday — and reach owners during the 2-4 week window before work begins.
Qualifying a job from the permit alone
An electrician in Miami-Dade scans this week's permits and, without making a single call, decides which to pursue. Each row carries the property address, the scope (a 200-amp service upgrade), an estimated valuation, the filing date, and the owner of record where available — enough to judge fit and size up front.
They skip the small outlet-addition permits and prioritize the service upgrades and EV-charger installs that match their crew and margins. By the time they pick up the phone, they already know the address, the work, and roughly the budget, so the conversation starts at “when can we look at it” instead of “what do you need.” Reading the permit replaces the whole qualifying call.
