Why PermitCore

What we do that competitors don't.

Commercial cohort depth

8 of 20 cohorts are commercial: new · alteration · shell-only · MEP · HVAC · signage · pool · demolition. Filter the API consistently across 25 metros.

Field-level DQ flags

12 flags per row — know which values are measured vs placeholder. Filter or weight by flag in your API queries.

Structured per-permit signal

Address · scope · contractor · status · geocode · provenance — structured per-permit fields, queryable as JSON for sales-ops integration. Honest about which fields each metro renders.

Nightly refresh

24-48h from source to served. Most competitors refresh monthly or twice-monthly.
