Building permits pulled by owners, not contractors
Every week we read the City of San Diego's permit data and send you the jobs where an individual pulled the permit at their own property — no contractor named on it yet. One price covers all of San Diego County, and every job tells you which city or unincorporated area it sits in. 25 qualified this week.
What you actually get
- Every Monday — every qualifying job for your trade, across the side of the city you actually work.
- Address, scope, valuation, permit number, plus a map and street-view link for each one.
- Verifiable. Quote the permit number to SD Development Services, or look it up yourself in the City's open data. We are not asking you to take our word for it.
- The whole record, not a filtered handful. Every job that qualifies goes in the email, and which ones are worth bidding is your call.

Inside the City of San Diego you pick a side or take the whole city — that is the choice on the buttons above, and it really does change what arrives (checkout stores it and the feed filters on it).

North of I-8 is La Jolla, UTC, Clairemont, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Carmel Valley, Rancho Peñasquitos. I-8 and south is Downtown, North Park, Point Loma, Ocean Beach, City Heights, Encanto, Otay Mesa, San Ysidro.
