New Construction Lead Generation from Building Permits
New Construction permit leads, new-construction advertising targets and follow-on work, from the public permits home builders and new-construction subs pull in your ZIPs.
Quick answer. Permit-based lead generation for home builders and new-construction subs starts from jobs that are already happening: public building permits. Curbside Signal has 7,588 residential new-construction permits in the 8 weeks from Aug 31, 2026 to Oct 25, 2026 across the 25 metros where the new-construction feed is on sale, and 59 new-construction city pages. Plans start at $20/mo.
New Construction permit leads
Each record is a real permit from a city or county: issue date, permit type, address and ZIP, scope, declared value where published and the contractor of record where published. We map each permit to the new-construction trade and filter it to your ZIPs.
- Subs: find the builders pulling the most new-home permits in your ZIPs.
- Post-construction trades: landscaping, fencing, security and pest control.
- Watch declared values by ZIP.
New Construction advertising with permit data
- Spend where the work is: aim local ads and mailers at the ZIP codes with the most new-construction permits.
- Market to the neighbors of active jobs: same-age houses on the same street often need the same work.
- Follow-on demand. A new home leads to landscaping, fencing, security, pest control and window coverings.
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.

Questions
How does permit-based lead generation for home builders and new-construction subs work?
Cities and counties publish building permits. We pull them, keep residential new-construction permits, and send you the ones in your ZIPs every Monday as a CSV with the address, scope and value. You use them for neighbor marketing, follow-on offers and ad targeting.
How much do new-construction permit leads cost?
Starter is $20/mo for one trade and up to 5 ZIPs. Whole City is $140/mo for a whole metro and up to 5 trades. Guarantee on every package: If a month comes in under half the 8-week average permit count for your ZIPs and trades, you get 50% off next month. If a weekly file is ever late or missing, you get 50% off next month.
Can I use permit data for new-construction advertising?
Yes. Point mailers, door-hangers and local ads at the ZIP codes where new-construction permits are being pulled, and at the streets around active jobs. The permit file tells you where; it does not include homeowner phone numbers or emails.
Does a permit mean the job is still open?
Usually not: a permit typically means the job is sold. The value is neighbor marketing around active jobs, cross-trade follow-on work, and contractor activity where the jurisdiction publishes it.
