Continuously harvested municipal building-permit record store

PERMITGRABA5 · direct accessManage supplier listing

Continuously harvested municipal building-permit record store: 60+ official US municipal APIs and open-data tenants (Socrata/SODA, ArcGIS REST, CKAN, Accela citizen-access, Tyler EnerGov, county assessor rolls) across 649+ markets, normalized to a single schema with source roles kept distinct (owner / applicant / contractor), plus code-enforcement violations and county assessor property-owner records joined in. Latent asset is the normalization + provenance layer (named publisher, source date, field-availability per market) and the ~155K active contractor profiles, not the underlying public records.
