How often is Austin permit data updated?

The City of Austin open data portal refreshes its issued construction permits dataset regularly. Austin is still in validation with Permits Central, so we have not yet confirmed a guaranteed daily cadence for paid subscriptions.

Where does Permits Central get Austin permit information?

From the City of Austin issued construction permits dataset on the city's official open data portal. We keep the original government record alongside our organized version.

Are these homeowner leads?

No. These are public building permit records. They show where construction work has been permitted, not people asking to be contacted.

Can I subscribe only to Austin?

Yes. Subscriptions are per market. Once Austin goes live you can subscribe to Austin alone and add other markets later.

How Permits Central works in Austin

Austin publishes issued building permits through the City of Austin open data portal. Permits Central reads that official feed, keeps the original government record, and turns new entries into opportunities organized by trade.

We check the City of Austin issued-permit dataset on a schedule, compare it with what we already hold, store any record we have not seen before, and classify the work description into trades. Repeated records are recognized and never counted twice.

Why monitor Austin permits

Austin and the surrounding Travis County area see steady residential remodeling, additions, pools, solar installs and new single-family construction. Permit records name the work, the address and the permit class, which tells a contractor where downstream work is likely to follow — fencing after a pool, landscaping after a new home, roofing after storm repairs.
