Pricing

One offer, three steps: the Monday digest is free and always will be (this week's issue, RSS, or by email); the permit data file is $79, once, and you can buy it below; Development Radar is a waitlist with no price and no checkout. Payment is handled by Gumroad, off this site. There is nothing else to buy and nothing recurring anywhere on this domain.

Florida permit data file (Miami-Dade + Orlando)

$79 one-time

Every qualifying permit row behind the free weekly digest, not just the top twelve: a CSV per trade per metro, rebuilt from the county's own records on the nightly run, plus a run-over-run delta of the permit numbers that were not in the previous file. Issue date, work type, job address, city, declared valuation, permit number, contractor of record, the contractor's state licence where the source publishes one, the parcel folio, and the literal rule that classified each row — the column list is published at /files-schema.json. Miami-Dade and Orlando are the metros in the spool today, and the file says so. One payment, not a subscription. Your receipt carries a licence key: paste it at https://earlydocket.com/redeem.html and every metro and trade in the spool is listed with a download button. There is no account and no password — the key is checked against Gumroad on each download. If you would rather script it, the direct URL still works: https://earlydocket.com/api/file?k=YOUR-KEY&metro=miami&trade=solar, with &kind=full for the whole day's file and &list=1 for a JSON index of everything your key opens. The run-over-run delta is currently produced for miami/solar only; for every other cut the request returns that day's full file instead and says so in its X-EarlyDocket-Kind response header, rather than reporting an empty delta. Declared valuations are as filed and routinely understate real project cost. Secure checkout via Gumroad with its 14-day money-back guarantee; the full refund policy is at /legal.html.

Development Radar

Waitlist — not priced

Zoning public hearings, rezonings, PUDs, plats, annexations and comp-plan items read from county and city agendas, each re-verified against its own source document before it is published. Includes Miami-Dade County (Board of County Commissioners and the BCC Comprehensive Development Master Plan & Zoning body, read from the county’s own Legislative Item Tracking System), Hollywood, Hallandale Beach and Coconut Creek. Alongside the items it publishes a forward hearing calendar at /hearings.json: every land-use body we watch, when it next meets, and whether its clerk has posted an agenda yet — including City of Miami PZAB, whose hearing DATES we publish and whose agenda documents we still cannot read (miami.gov returns HTTP 403). It does NOT read Miami Beach or Orange County/Orlando agendas — see the coverage page for why, by name. This is a waitlist, not a product you can buy: it is not built, it carries no price, and no checkout exists for it. The agenda items themselves are free to read now — one page per Florida body at /hearings/, and in the free Monday digest.

Not purchasable yet. This product is a WAITLIST. It is not built, it has no price, and nothing about it can be bought. What the form below does: it records that you want this product and what it would be worth to you, and emails the owner. Nothing here charges you, and no price has been set for you to be held to later.

What is built, and what is not

The files exist and are delivered. 614 finished permit files for Miami and Orlando are in the delivery spool right now, and /api/file serves them over HTTPS as CSV — the day's file and the run-over-run delta of permit numbers that were not in the previous run — to a purchase licence key, or to a token the owner issued by hand. 1 owner-issued token(s) are live and 9 have ever been issued (the difference is expired or revoked, including this build's own end-to-end test). That count is tokens only: a licence key is checked against the processor on each request and is not stored here, so it is not in the number. This is new as of 2026-07-31; before that there genuinely was no delivery channel.
Checkout is live for the products above that show a Buy button. Payment is taken by Gumroad, not by this site; this site never sees a card number. How the file reaches you after the sale is written on the product itself, above. A product with no Buy button has no checkout and nobody is charged for it.
Development Radar does not read:
- the items on City of Miami PZAB agendas (its hearing DATES we do publish)
- Miami Beach
- Orange County and the City of Orlando
If those are the agendas you need, this product is not for you yet, and saying so here is cheaper for both of us than a refund.
The permit lag is 1–3 days, not real time. Measured per source and published on the permit sample and coverage pages.

Read the output before you pay for it. The samples are published in public and unedited: the permit sample is a real nightly pull of the file with phones and owner names masked, and the weekly digest is the free version of the same pipeline. They are the honest way to decide whether the paid file is worth it to you before any money moves. Free, with no email at all: upcoming hearings by jurisdiction and permit activity by area and trade. The free Monday digest is still free — join it here. How we compare to the other Florida permit vendors, with their prices and where they beat us: the comparison page.
