What is a building permit?

A building permit (or construction permit) is required in most jurisdictions for new construction, adding onto pre-existing structures, and major renovations. Generally, the work must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. Failure to obtain a permit can result in significant fines and penalties, and even demolition of unauthorized projects.

How can building permits help you?

Building permit records help you to find customers that need your products and services at beginning of their construction projects.

Because individuals and companies are required to obtain a valid building permit before they build, this gives you a great opportunity to find potential customers and inform them of the products and services that you have to offer. Knowing when and where the customer is at this stage in their project can give you a strong marketing edge over your competition.

How to obtain building permits in your sales region.

You could spend valuable time and money traveling back and forth between the many city and county agencies in your sales region, searching for the best building permit sales leads, or you can purchase your building permit leads from someone who has already done the work. Building permit resellers offer the data you need in an organized format with powerful search tools that make finding information easy.
