- Mecklenburg County (Accela): Permit records on meckgis.mecklenburgcountync.gov, published by Mecklenburg County (Accela). Source dataset. Collected window(s): Aug 28, 2026 – Oct 22, 2026. Last pulled Oct 27, 2026. Partial source: residential (RES-) permit records from Mecklenburg County's Accela permit system; owner names and contact details are never collected.
Metric: Residential = the source marks the permit's use as residential (permits with commercial or unknown use are not counted). Electrical = the permit's type or work description matches the Curbside Signal electrical rules. Counts exclude void or cancelled permits. Dates are the jurisdiction's permit issue date. These are residential permits (RES- records) from Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement's Accela permit system, which issues building and trade permits for the City of Charlotte and the Mecklenburg towns. The place name is the permit's tax jurisdiction. The permits are county-issued, not issued by the city or town. Records are deduplicated on source and permit number. How we count. Part of the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC metro.
The honest limit. A permit usually means the job is already sold. We say that up front. The value is what happens around it:
- Neighbor marketing around active jobs: same-age houses on the same street.
- Cross-trade follow-on demand: new roof → solar, gutters, insulation; remodel → HVAC, electrical, landscaping, pool; new build → pest, security, landscaping.
- Contractor activity: which contractors pull permits where (where the jurisdiction publishes it), and who to recruit as subs.
- Early-stage projects for commercial trades and GC subs.
Follow-on: Remodels and solar installs are the two biggest drivers of residential electrical work. Whole City covers both.
