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

We drop any permit held by a company, and any holder who appears at more than one address — that removes contractors and permit runners both. It is why the weekly numbers below are small. They are the real ones.

Angi & Thumbtack

  • The average Angi pro pays about $401 a month in lead fees alone — nearer $618 all in
  • That works out at $29.07 an Angi lead. Neither company publishes a rate card
  • Billed per lead, so your busiest month is your most expensive one
  • Form fills — 1,879 BBB complaints against Angi Inc in three years, 921 against Thumbtack

This feed

  • $39/mo flat — one average Angi lead alone is $29.07, and this does not move when the week is busy
  • No per-lead charge, no membership fee, no contract
  • Every qualifying job for your trade — you decide which ones are worth bidding
  • Government permit records with no contractor named on them yet — filed, dated, verifiable by number

Angi figures are our own arithmetic on Angi Inc's annual filing (Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025), not prices Angi quotes: US Lead revenue $587.05M ÷ 20,195,000 Leads = $29.07 a lead, and ÷ 122,000 average monthly active pros = about $401 a month per pro. BBB complaint counts read 12 August 2026.

How the county breaks down

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). The unincorporated county and the other cities we cover come either way, and every job says which city or area it is in. 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.
