Counts as of October 17, 2026, regenerated nightly from the database. A city missing from this list is either one we do not pull yet or one holding fewer than 2 permit records, which we withhold rather than present as coverage. Neither means the city has no permits.

Want to see the data itself?

Our live demo runs on Orange County, the biggest feed we hold: weekly permit volume, trade mix and the busiest contractors, 30 days behind, no login. Lee County works the same way in the portal, with phone numbers, grades and momentum on every account. You can also download a 100-row sample to see the export columns.

Who buys Lee County permit data

Mostly suppliers. A roofing or HVAC distributor wants the list of contractors pulling permits in its branch territory, ranked by how many, with a way to reach them. The Supplier Portal is built for that. Developers who want raw permit records go through the Permits API instead.
