Permit intelligence for people and agents

from the conversation.

PermitReporter gives compatible AI assistants direct access to source-linked building-permit records, exact county coverage boundaries, contractor opportunity signals, and—only when you authorize it—a real double-opt-in email watch.

A public interface with receipts

Find the record.
Keep its source attached.

Public reads stay privacy-minimized. Every permit result preserves the date, source, collection timestamp, canonical citation, and the limits of the route that produced it.

Search permits

Look up collected building permits by public text, county, city, address, trade classification, or date range.

Check coverage

Distinguish live and lagged record routes from counties where the page carries only a statistical floor.

Find contractor signals

Explore source-linked trade and project-scope classifications without treating an editorial signal as guaranteed work.

Create a watch

With your explicit permission, an agent can create a pending email watch. Alerts stay off until you confirm the address.

Human access

Search here—or ask your assistant.

The ordinary website and agent interfaces read the same collected record layer. Search results do not imply completeness; verify consequential details at the linked official source.

Double-opt-in alerts

Let PermitReporter keep watch.

Create the same pending watch a compatible agent can create. We store the email, query, optional county, confirmation state, and a private unsubscribe token. No alerts begin until the address is confirmed.

A watch is not a completeness guarantee. It matches records that enter PermitReporter's collected layer; it does not monitor every government system or file a permit.

Open agent access

MCP for the conversation.
OpenAPI for everything else.

Guides, coverage and human pages are free. Structured agent searches and individual records cost 0.005 USDC; contractor leads cost 0.01 USDC via x402 on Base. Empty results are unbilled. Watches still require explicit consent and email confirmation.

Payment offers appear before data is returned. Retry the same signed X-PAYMENT authorization and arguments to recover a lost response without a second charge. See prices and payment details.

The agent contract

Call the county-coverage tool before interpreting a missing result.
Preserve the canonical record, official source, record date, collection timestamp, and stated limit.
Never expose or infer raw payloads, owner or applicant party arrays, emails, confirmation tokens, or internal enrichment state.
Create a watch only after the user reviews the exact details and explicitly authorizes the action and confirmation email.

No matching record collected is not the same as no permit exists.

Government systems differ by issuer, access method, cadence, history, and reliability. PermitReporter reports the collected layer and makes the boundary visible.
