Miami and Orlando permits, matched to your trade.

Every building permit Miami-Dade and Orlando publish to their open-data feeds, read every night and filtered to your trade — roofing, solar, rebuild GC, flooring, fence, screen enclosure and more. Every row prints the literal rule that put it in your file, every run prints how many rows the quality gates dropped and why, and every authority's own publishing lag is measured rather than claimed. The contractor of record, the state licence number, the declared valuation and the permit number are all in there — and Miami-Dade publishes most of those for free, which we say on the sample page rather than selling them back to you. Plus the rezoning agenda items that create tomorrow's permits.

How fresh that is depends on the authority, not on us, and on how many nights we have measured each one: Orlando 0–1 days old across our last 10 pulls, the City of Miami 1–4 days old across our last 10 pulls, and Miami-Dade County 0–3 days old across our last 10 pulls. The run counts differ because each source was wired on a different day, and one window cannot be true of all three. See the measurement, and a real file →

Nothing on this site can be bought yet — there is no checkout and no card field anywhere. Miami & Orlando are re-read nightly; because each run re-pulls a rolling seven-day window, the miami/solar file gained 0–63 permit numbers per run that were not in the previous run (median 30) across 2026-08-18→2026-08-25, and 1 of those 7 runs brought none at all. That is the only file whose run-over-run delta we measure, and it is the number the permit sample prints.

What you can buy today, and what is still free

The job now. The approval months earlier.

Permit Leads · the paid product

The job, before your competitor sees it.

Daily, trade-matched permit leads: reroofs for solar installers, fire & water repairs for rebuild GCs, pool permits for fence and screen companies. Contractor of record, declared value, permit number, and the evidence for every match.

Being straight about the state of it: the daily file is generated, delivered, and as of 2026-08-14 it is self-serve — the $79 file is bought on Gumroad and the licence key on your receipt is pasted at /redeem.html, which lists every metro and trade in the spool with a download button. No account, no login, and no waiting on a human. What is still true: this is one payment, not a subscription, and nobody has bought it yet. What that means, precisely →

The rezoning, while the hearing is still ahead of you.

Rezonings, zoning public hearings, PUDs, plats, annexations and comprehensive-plan amendments, read from county and city agendas — with the applicant, the parcel, the acreage and what it is asking to go from and to, wherever the authority prints them. Every item links its source agenda, and every published line is re-checked against that document before it ships.

What “early” means here, precisely: a land-use item is typically decided 12–24 months before the building permit it eventually produces, and that is the lead we are selling. It is not a claim about the hearing date — we can only see an agenda once the authority publishes it, which is usually days to a few weeks ahead. The digest therefore separates hearings still ahead from hearings already held, and never prints a past hearing as if it were upcoming.

Free metro newsletter → Development Radar $1,499/yrIn development - not yet billable
Radar has captured agendas from these 16 jurisdictions within the last 45 days (a backward-looking count, not a promise about this week): Coral Gables, Jacksonville (City Council), Delray Beach, Ocala, Clearwater, Polk County, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Hillsborough County, Miami-Dade County (BCC + CDMP & Zoning), Hallandale Beach, Coconut Creek, Pinellas County, Broward County, Miramar, Doral.
It does not read the items on City of Miami PZAB agendas (its hearing DATES we do publish), Miami Beach, and Orange County and the City of Orlando. City of Miami is read but its agenda API exposes only 6 documents, the newest meeting being 2026-06-04. 22 land-use hearings are scheduled inside the next 60 days whose agenda no clerk has published yet — the ones we are waiting on are listed, by date, on the coverage page and in hearings.json.

The question we get asked

Why not just download it from the county?

Because the honest answer is narrower than a lead-list vendor would tell you, and you can check every part of it. Miami-Dade's free open-data layer already carries the contractor's phone, their state licence number and the owner of record. We queried the live layer on 2026-07-30 before writing this: those fields are free, and anyone can pull them. What the free download does not do is any of the following.

If that is not worth money to you, it should not cost you any — which is why there is no card field on this site. See the full field-by-field comparison on a real file →

And the honest version of the other question

You are not choosing between this and a Socrata query.

You are choosing between four things: the two free county portals, a national permit-data subscription, a bought contractor lead list, and this. We are not going to score the other three for you — we have not audited their files, and a comparison table where we win every row is marketing. What we will do is put our own answers on the box so you can hold any of them to the same four questions:

And the rows we would lose on, said plainly: geography — two Florida metros, nothing else, against a national vendor's fifty states. Tenure — this pipeline has been running since 11 July 2026, and has no customers. Delivery — the file is bought on Gumroad and the licence key on your receipt is pasted at /redeem.html, which lists every metro and trade with a download button; the same key works directly against /api/file if you would rather script it. There is no login. The precise state of that, on one page → If any of those three is what decides it for you, one of the other three options is your answer, and we would rather you knew that here than after paying.

Both products are published in public, unedited. The permit sample is a real nightly pull of the permit file with phone numbers and owner names masked; the weekly digest is the largest permits issued this week, plus land-use items in two separate tables — hearings still ahead, and hearings already held — each one checkable against the county record or the meeting's own agenda document.

The file behind the digest

The weekly digest above is free and stays free. If you want the underlying rows rather than the top twelve — every qualifying permit, per trade, refreshed daily from the county’s own records, as a CSV with a “new since last run” delta — that is the paid file. Miami-Dade and Orlando are the metros the data covers today, and the file says so.

It deliberately contains no applicant phone numbers and no owner names. Permits are public record, but we do not sell a file of people’s personal contact details — you get the company, the address and the permit, and you do your own outreach.
