What is a permit lead service?

A service that aggregates county permit records, filters them by trade, and delivers them to contractors as an organized weekly feed.

What a permit lead service replaces

A contractor in Palm Beach County used to pay a lead platform $60 per shared contact — names three or four competitors bought the same day. A permit lead service flips that: PermitMap aggregates the county's public permit records, filters them to the contractor's trade, and delivers an organized list every Monday with address, scope, and value.

Instead of racing competitors to a resold form-fill, the contractor works verified, committed projects they can reach exclusively if they move first. There's no per-lead fee and no bidding war for the same homeowner. Over a month, the flat subscription typically costs less than a handful of shared leads — and every row represents a real project already on file with the county.
