United States Building Permits

**Overview**
The Shovels building permit database provides property building permit data for every major permit jurisdiction in the United States. Building permit analyses help clients project new construction, remodeling, rehabilitation, and other indicators of market changes for residential and commercial properties.

Building permit data includes information about the permit type, project type, description, job value, filing fees, file date, approval date, status, and final date. It also provides contractor information such as business name, type, city, state, zip code, and inspection pass rate. The permit descriptions are parsed to extract the number of units, square footage, and other specific entities.

Building Permit offers the property intelligence necessary for professionals like appraisers, direct marketers, lenders, insurers, and others to assess risk and opportunity. It also provides insightful information regarding home improvements for direct marketing applications.

**Use cases**

- Property Valuation:

Appraisers can utilize building permit data to refine property value estimates. Factors such as the number of dwelling units, total square footage, and structure height play critical roles in determining property values.

- Market Analysis:

Direct marketers and other market analysts can leverage building permit data to deepen their understanding of real estate dynamics in particular areas. For instance, a surge in renovation permits may indicate a robust real estate market or a neighborhood experiencing gentrification.

- Risk Analysis:

For insurers and lenders, analyzing data from building permits is crucial for evaluating the risk linked with specific properties or projects. This evaluation may consider the kinds of permits granted, the project's declared value, or the permit history of a property or location.

- Strategic Real Estate Development:

Companies can use building permit data to strategically plan new developments, renovations, or rehabilitation projects by assessing the permit landscape in targeted geographic zones.

- Real Estate Compliance & Verification:

Companies can ensure their projects comply with local regulations by monitoring permit statuses and expiration dates. This data also helps verify that contractors have the necessary licenses and permits for legal operation.
