- Maricopa County unincorporated (Residential permits layer): Permit records on services.arcgis.com, published by Maricopa County unincorporated (Residential permits layer). Source dataset. Collected window(s): Sep 1, 2026 – Oct 26, 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). Solar = the permit's type or work description matches the Curbside Signal solar rules. Counts exclude void or cancelled permits. Dates are the jurisdiction's permit issue date. These are permits from Maricopa County's residential building-permits layer (unincorporated county), dated by issue date. The place name is the postal city of the permit's ZIP code. Sun City is an unincorporated community, so Maricopa County is the permitting authority there. Records are deduplicated on source and permit number. How we count. Part of the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro: every trade × city page there.
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: Solar installs drive electrical (panel and battery) and roofing (penetration and warranty) work. Whole City covers up to 5 trades, so you can partner with both.
