How this service works
New building permits from Tampa Bay, Florida, the morning after they're filed. Job value, contractor and trade on every permit. AI agents pay per search with x402.
Output
A JSON object containing a total count, an array of up to 25 permit records (each with address, city, ZIP, status, trade(s), job valuation, permit number, permit key, description, record type, applied/issued dates, jurisdiction, contractor name, contractor key, and contractor license), and a next_offset value for pagination.
Example use cases
Roofing contractor lead generation
“Find me roofing permits issued in Tampa in the last 7 days with a job value over $8,000 — I want to see the contractor names and addresses so I can identify new job activity.”
Solar installer market research
“Search for solar permits filed anywhere in Tampa Bay this month — give me up to 25 results so I can see which neighborhoods and contractors are most active.”
New construction tracking in specific ZIP
“Show me all new construction permits filed in ZIP code 33607 since September 1st this year — I need the permit numbers, job values, and issued dates.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.permitscouter.com/permits/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search across multiple Tampa Bay building permits using filters like trade type, location, date range, or job value — ideal for lead generation, market research, or contractor activity monitoring. Prefer this over the single-permit detail endpoint when you need discovery rather than lookup of a known permit, and over the contractor history endpoint when your query is geography- or trade-driven rather than contractor-driven.
Side effects
- No results returned if no permits match the filter criteria within the covered jurisdictions
- Invalid trade enum value returns a validation error
- Date format other than YYYY-MM-DD causes a parsing error
- Jurisdiction key not found in /coverage returns an empty or error response
- Exceeding limit of 25 returns a validation error
- Offset beyond total results returns empty results array
