From public records to a daily list you can actually use

1. We pull new records from Columbus

The City of Columbus publishes building permit data through its public open-data feed. We collect new records and organize the available details, including the permit address, permit category, and project value when provided.

2. We match records to your trade and ZIP codes

Choose from roofing, fencing, pools, gutters, blinds and shades, landscaping, or foundation repair. We tag permits that may be relevant to your trade and filter the results to the ZIP codes you serve.

3. Your digest arrives at 7 AM

Review the matching records in one short daily email, then open the dashboard to search and filter the permits. Decide which records are worth researching or following up on for your business.

A permit is a public record, not a verified sales lead. Some projects will already have a contractor, and not every permit will lead to an opportunity for your business.

Straight answers

Does a permit mean the homeowner is looking for a contractor?

No. A permit is a public record of permitted work, not confirmation that the project is unassigned or that the owner is seeking bids. You review the records and decide which ones are worth following up on.

Which areas are covered?

Records published by the City of Columbus, drawn from the city's public building-permit feed (published under CC0). Suburbs and other Franklin County jurisdictions publish their own permits, and those aren't in this feed.

How fresh is the data?

We pull the city's feed every morning, and your 7 AM digest covers the latest complete issue day. The city occasionally posts records late or corrects them afterward; those changes flow in with the next pull.

How does trade matching work?

We read each permit's type and category and tag it for the trades it may be relevant to. One record can match more than one trade, and an occasional near-miss is possible — the tags are a relevance filter, not a promise that a particular trade gets hired next.

How does the guarantee work?

If your first 30 days pass without a single lead, email us and we'll refund your $99 in full — no questions asked. A lead means a permit on your list that matches your trade and ZIP codes. Whether a permit turns into booked work depends on the job and your follow-up — the list's job is to make sure you see every matching permit first.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — no contract. Email us and we'll cancel it, no retention script and no phone call required. You keep access through the end of the period you've paid for.
