What you get in a lead

Each permit comes with the property address and ZIP, permit and work type, project size, the builder or contractor named on the permit and the issue date, plus the owner name from county appraisal records where we can match it. Phone numbers are rare on these permits, so leads here work best for reaching builders and visiting job sites early.
