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 with a 'permit' field containing jurisdiction, permit number, address, city, zip, status, record type, description, applied date, issued date, valuation, contractor name, contractor license, contractor key, and an array of trades; plus a 'history' array of every recorded status change with timestamps and valuations.
Example use cases
Verify permit status before closing
“Can you look up Tampa permit BLD-26-0000003 and tell me whether it's been issued yet and what the current valuation is? I need this before we close on the property.”
Identify contractor on a specific permit
“Who is the contractor on Tampa Bay permit BLD-26-0000042 and what license number are they using? Also let me know what trades are listed.”
Track status history of a roofing permit
“I need the full status history for permit BLD-26-0000007 in Tampa — every status change you have on record with timestamps and valuations.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.permitscouter.com/permits/%7Bsource%7D/%7Bpermit_number%7D?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you already have a specific permit number and jurisdiction (source) and need full structured detail — status, valuation, contractor, trades, and complete status history — for that single permit. It is more appropriate than the search endpoint when the permit identifier is known, and more detailed than address or contractor roll-ups when you need the audit trail of status changes for one permit specifically.
Side effects
- Unknown permit number or source returns a 404 or empty result
- Permit exists but was filed before coverage began — incomplete history
- Stale data if permit was updated very recently (updated the morning after filing, not real-time)
- Invalid source identifier causes a 400 or routing error
- Payment not completed via x402 results in 402 response blocking data access
