- City of Sumter and Sumter County: Permit records on gis.sumter-sc.com, published by City of Sumter and Sumter County. Source dataset. Collected window(s): Aug 29, 2026 – Oct 23, 2026. Last pulled Oct 27, 2026.
Metric: Residential = the source marks the permit's use as residential (permits with commercial or unknown use are not counted). New Construction = the permit's type or work description matches the Curbside Signal new-construction rules. Counts exclude void or cancelled permits. Dates are the jurisdiction's permit issue date. These are permits from the Sumter city-county building permit layer, dated by issue date. The place name comes from each permit's site address; unincorporated addresses use the postal city of the ZIP. Records are deduplicated on source and permit number. How we count. Part of the Sumter, 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: A new home leads to landscaping, fencing, security, pest control and window coverings.
