How this works

The work that comes after the permit is often not hired yet. Examples are landscaping after a pool, or flooring after a remodel.
Each pack is sorted by permit type and tagged with likely next trades, so you can see which properties fit your trade.
It is one download of the last 60 days of issued permits. It saves the time of pulling and sorting city records yourself.
You reach homeowners by door-knock or direct mail. The files do not include contact details.

What's NOT in it

No homeowner names.
No phone numbers.
No email addresses.
The city’s raw feed is public records — every trade, every sub-permit, the same project filed two or three ways. We pull it nightly, dedupe it to one row per property, sort it by project type, and tag the properties where a next trade gets hired. That sorting is the product.
The “likely next trades” tag is our label based on permit type. It is not a confirmed need at that address.

Questions before you download

Is this a subscription?
No. A pack is a one-time $49. The bundle is $99, also one-time. There is no account and nothing renews. The sample needs no card and no email.

How fresh is the data?
We rebuild every pack nightly. Other sources we compared refresh weekly or twice a month. A permit shows up in your pack after the city publishes it and our next nightly rebuild picks it up.

Is the data exclusive to me?
No. Every buyer gets the same pack, including other contractors in your trade. We don't sell territory locks. You are not paying to keep anyone out. What you pay for is the sorted list. What you do with it is up to you: who knocks the door first, and who follows up.

Can't I just pull this from the city?
You can — permit records are public. The pack is the sorting: the last 60 days, one row per property, tagged for the trades that get hired after the builder. Doing that by hand is the slow part. It's $49 so you don't have to.

What do I do with a list that has no phone numbers?
Knock on the door or send mail. That is the design. The files hold property addresses and permit details, not homeowner names or phone numbers. Use the address and the permit type to decide who gets a visit or a letter.

What if it isn't useful?
Ask within 7 days (hello@lineanswered.com) and we refund the $49. No questions.
