What we cover — and what to expect

We read the public permit records your county publishes and turn them into one daily feed. Below: where we cover today, how far back the history goes, and what public records can't tell you.

Next up

St. Mary's, Wicomico, Chesterfield, Henrico, Prince William, and the remaining smaller counties. We add coverage as records become available as data — included in every plan, at no extra cost. Need a county we haven't reached? Custom research is available, fee-based.

The fine print we insist on

• Newest-first counties: a few county systems only expose their most recent records. Your newest filings are always included; older history fills in over time.
• Declared values are applicant-reported, and not every county publishes them. Where a county doesn't, the feed shows the work and the address — not a dollar figure.
• Contractor and owner names are published by only some counties. Where available, we show them; where not, we never guess.
• Publication lag varies — 1–30+ days depending on the county. No county publishes in real time; “daily” means we refresh as their records update.
• Final/closed dates aren't published everywhere, so an occasional record may show as open after the work is done.
• Batch filings: counties sometimes issue many permits for one address on a single day. Those are real, separate records — we keep them and flag the repeats.
• Inferred, not published: owner-filed flags, repeat-filing tags, and ZIP-level home estimates are our inferences, not county fields. We never guess a name, value, or address the county doesn't publish.
• It's public data: we organize what counties publish and link every record back to its source. We don't invent, estimate, or alter a county's numbers.
