Built for adjacent trades and suppliers

  1. The county publishes a residential building permit. New homes, additions, and major remodels — the same public file DPS already posts.
  2. WirePermits indexes it the same day. Address, valuation, work type, and (where the city names them) the contractor of record.
  3. You sell around the job, not over it. Alarm, AV, solar, and insulation firms work the site list. Suppliers see who is pulling the installs.

FAQ

Is this so I can call the homeowner before another contractor does?
No. On issued permits the trade of record is usually already named. WirePermits is adjacent-trade intel: where a house is being opened up, and who is winning the work.
Where does the data come from?
Official city and county open-data APIs. Montgomery County, MD is the home market; we also index Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, and more. Public records. WirePermits is not a government service.
How current is it?
A scheduled Worker cron pulls the last 3 days from live APIs each morning (UTC).
Who is this for?
Low-voltage, security, AV, solar, and insulation contractors, plus suppliers who need to know which firms are pulling the installs.
Why are street numbers hidden on the homepage?
The public sample is a teaser. Logged-in accounts see the full address.
Is WirePermits affiliated with these cities or counties?
No. Bright Wire Solutions LLC is a private company in Leesburg, VA.
