New building-permit leads, without an inbox full of pitches.

PermitPulse watches newly published building permits and turns them into a simple list you can bookmark: address, work type, value, and the applicant name when the city provides it. Built for roofers, solar installers, HVAC, pool, fence, and remodel contractors.

Price: $29/month per area. The first area is Champaign–Urbana–Savoy.

What is in the first feed

City of Urbana issued permits, pulled from the official Illinois Open Data API. We check daily for newly published records. Urbana typically posts in batches (often about weekly), so a quiet day does not always mean no work was permitted.
Village of Savoy monthly permit reports, added when a new report is published (manual import in this first version).
City of Champaign issued permits are not in this first version. We are not scraping the city’s permit portal.

How you get the leads

After you subscribe, you get a private web page and a CSV link, with a unique address only you should have. Bookmark it. Filter by trade. There is no newsletter and no marketing email.
