Find just-permitted pool & spa projects in your territory.

Frequently asked about pool permits.

What pool permits does PermitCore cover?

Pool work classifies across two segments today. Residential Pool Construction covers in-ground and above-ground swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs at single-family and residential properties — the pool shell, decking, the required safety barrier or fencing, and the electrical and plumbing pulled under the pool permit. Commercial Pool Construction covers hotel, club, fitness, and municipal aquatic facilities, which follow different code-review and inspection tracks. Segments are overlap-free, so cross-metro totals stay reconcilable.

Can PermitCore tell me which pump or heater brand was installed?

Not for pool equipment — and here is the precise scope, since we do ship brand detection elsewhere. Where a manufacturer is named in the permit text we detect and surface it today for HVAC and roofing (see the /brands directory, ≥99% precision on the detected subset). Pool pump and heater makers are rarely written into the permit record, so we do not surface them as a brand rail for this vertical. Every pool permit still carries address, scope, contractor, status, geocode, provenance, DQ flags, and segment, queryable per row. Use the segment × metro + contractor signal to find just-permitted pool projects in your territory.

Which metros have the deepest pool coverage today?

Per-segment depth varies by metro. Phoenix leads Residential Pool Construction (84K permits in metro), and Austin leads Commercial Pool Construction (17K). Each metro count is its own classified volume — never the cross-metro total — and every segment × metro landing page also surfaces its current count. Sun Belt metros carry the deepest residential-pool footprint.

How fresh is the data?

Two signals, displayed side-by-side on every segment × metro page. Source-data freshness — a “Latest permit” date with a days-since count — is the issued date of the most recent permit we hold for that metro and segment; it tells you whether new pool permits are landing for the slice you care about. Index rebuilt — a separate “index rebuilt” date — is when our pipeline last recomputed the artifacts that back the page. We display both because a quiet segment (no recent issued permits) does not mean a stale index. Older history is queryable via the API once you sign up.

Can I integrate this into my CRM?

Yes. Every permit returns as JSON via /v1/permits — address, scope, contractor, status, geocode, provenance, DQ flags, and segment are all queryable per row. Pro tier ($89/mo) includes 100K API calls/month and unlimited exports. Self-serve checkout; no sales call required.
