Frequently asked about commercial signage permits.

What signage permits does PermitCore cover?

Commercial Signage Permits cover building signs at commercial properties — wall-mounted signs, monument signs, illuminated signage, and pole signs. Permit values run smaller than most segments but volume is high. New sign filings are widely used as a leading indicator of tenant turnover, since a new sign permit typically follows a tenant change-over at a commercial property.

How much signage permit volume is in the index today?

Commercial Signage Permits carry 293K classified permits across 20 US metros with positive signage volume. That breadth — every covered metro is one click away in the segment × metro index below — is what lets a fabricator or installer work signage filings city by city across a national territory. Each metro landing page also surfaces its own current count.

Which metros have the deepest signage coverage today?

Chicago leads commercial signage (55K permits in metro). Depth varies widely by metro — each count in the segment × metro index below is that metro's own classified volume, never the cross-metro total — so territory teams can size each city before they work it.

Can PermitCore tell me which sign vendor or fabricator made the sign?

Not for signage — though we do ship brand detection where the permit text supports it. Manufacturer names written into permit descriptions are detected and surfaced today for HVAC and roofing (see the /brands directory, ≥99% precision on the detected subset). Sign vendors and fabricators are rarely named in the permit record, so we do not surface them as a brand rail here. Every signage permit still carries address, scope, contractor, status, geocode, provenance, DQ flags, segment, and (for NYC) PLUTO geometry, queryable per row. Use the metro + contractor signal to find just-permitted signage projects in your territory.

How fresh is the data?

Two signals, displayed side-by-side on every metro page. Source-data freshness — a “Latest permit” date with a days-since count — is the issued date of the most recent signage permit we hold for that metro; it tells you whether new sign filings are landing. 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 metro (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, segment, and (for NYC) PLUTO geometry are all queryable per row. Pro tier ($89/mo) includes 100K API calls/month and unlimited exports. Self-serve checkout; no sales call required.
