Reach the right audience the moment they start spending
Every permit is an owner spending money on a specific building on a specific date. That makes it the cleanest buy-intent signal in real estate. Here is how teams put it to work.
Catch owners mid-project
A permit tells you what an owner just paid for, not just that they own a house. That is enough to segment a market by what someone actually needs next.
Systems due for service
Every solar permit carries an install date. Systems five or more years old are entering the battery and inverter replacement window.
New equipment, fresh warranty
A recent HVAC, water heater, or kitchen permit means the owner just paid for new equipment and wants it protected.
Projects that run over budget
Additions and pools routinely exceed budget mid-build. That is equity intent, and a good moment to offer financing.
A roof that just opened up
A reroof means the roof is already open and the owner is already spending. That is the moment to pitch solar.
A new pool on the property
A new in-ground pool means years of service and supply demand ahead, and a change in the property's risk profile.
Resilience buyers
Generator and battery permits flag owners who are already spending on backup power.
Put purchase-intent signals inside your own product
Roof age, HVAC replacement age, solar, pools, and renovations are all dated, address-level signals. The v1 permits API serves them directly, so your CRM, dialer, or direct-mail pipeline can pull its own audience instead of waiting on a file drop.
