Know what the data can tell you.
Explore the latest successfully collected snapshot. The dashboard shows collection time and each city’s available issue-date range.
Which cities are represented?
San Jose, Milpitas, Cupertino, Morgan Hill, Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Los Altos Hills. This is partial county coverage. The dashboard shows each city’s available issue-date range.
Is this a live feed?
This is a snapshot, not a live feed. Refresh runs are scheduled for Mondays. Each city publishes on its own timetable, so records can be older than the collection date. If a refresh fails, the last successful snapshot stays available.
Does a permit represent an available job?
A permit records administrative activity. It does not verify whether work is pending or completed, whether a contractor is still involved, or whether an owner intends to buy additional services. Trade categories are automated description filters, not classifications supplied by the city. New means first seen in our comparison, not necessarily newly issued.
Where are my saved permits stored?
Only in this browser’s local storage. They do not sync across devices and may be removed when browser data is cleared. Dashboard access follows your active subscription’s trade and territory.
Gutter briefs for your territory
Weekly Brief: $149/month, gutter-only and nonexclusive. Exclusive gutter seat: $299/month for all seven cities, subject to availability.
While an Exclusive Seat is active, no other customer receives records matching that trade filter in the territory through briefs, CSV exports, or the dashboard. Both offers then display ‘Claimed. Join the waitlist.’ A seat cannot activate while another buyer retains overlapping access. Underlying permits remain public; no homeowner, property, or job is reserved.
Search reported permit facts, review source dates and status when available, save browser bookmarks, and compare newly observed or changed records each week. Trade categories are automated description filters; they do not establish project readiness or buying intent.
For suppliers and manufacturers: the Supplier tier is $750/month. It covers all seven cities and every trade category we track, with the full archive of past weekly snapshots included. Start the Supplier tier.
Every PermitBriefly subscription tier, including the $149 per month Weekly Brief, the $299 per month Exclusive Seat, and the $750 per month Supplier tier, includes a 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee: if PermitBriefly isn’t worth it to you in the first 30 days, email us and we will refund you in full. No forms, no interrogation.
This is a satisfaction guarantee, not a promise of jobs, leads or revenue.
The guarantee applies to every tier for its first 30 days and excludes renewal payments. For an Exclusive Seat, the window begins with the first successful Exclusive Seat payment on that subscription, never an earlier payment for another tier. For other tiers, the window begins with the first successful subscription payment. Renewals and later returns to a previously purchased Exclusive Seat tier do not restart its window. Previously granted guarantee rights are preserved.
Email support@permitbriefly.com to request your refund. Signing in is not required for the email option. The signed-in refund-request button provides an additional option. No explanation of dissatisfaction is required. We only request information needed to identify the subscription and verify account control.
Eligibility depends on when we receive your request, not when the owner processes it. A request received within the guarantee window remains timely even when processing occurs later. The deadline is exactly 30 days after the applicable first successful payment described above, shown in UTC in your account; requests must arrive before that deadline. Email support remains available outside the window, without automatic guarantee eligibility.
