Everything you need to find the next job
Permit activity is public, but it is scattered, slow to search, and full of noise. We do the sorting so your report is ready to read.
Value and work-type filters
Focus on higher-value projects and the work you do, such as new construction, additions, ADUs, and tenant improvements, instead of scrolling every filing.
Delivered, ready to use
A weekly digest and a daily feed arrive by email as a readable PDF and a spreadsheet you can sort, filter, and drop into your estimating or CRM workflow.
Up and running in a few minutes
No software to install and no dashboards to learn.

Questions, answered plainly
Where does the data come from?
From public records. For Los Angeles, our main source is the Department of Building and Safety permit data published on the City of Los Angeles open-data portal. We are an independent business and are not affiliated with the City or any government agency.
Is the information exclusive to me?
No. Permit records are public, so competitors can see the same filings. What you pay for is the time saved: the sorting, filtering, and delivery. We do not guarantee leads, bids, or contracts.
How accurate is it?
We work from what the agency publishes, and records can contain delays or errors at the source. Please verify a record with the issuing agency before you rely on it. See Section 4 of the Terms.
How do I cancel?
Use the billing portal with the email address you used at checkout, or email the word "cancel" to permits@buildyour-ownhome.com. Either way cancellation stops future charges, and you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
Do you offer refunds?
Delivered reports are generally non-refundable, but we refund a month in which we delivered nothing, duplicate or mistaken charges, and charges made after a valid cancellation. The full policy is in Section 8 of the Terms.
Can I use the reports to contact property owners?
Yes, as a business, as long as you follow the laws that apply to your outreach, including contractor licensing and advertising rules, email and phone marketing rules, and privacy laws. Details are in Section 10 of the Terms.
What do you do with my information?
We use it to run your subscription and answer you. We do not sell it, and this site uses no ad trackers and no cookies. See the Privacy Policy.
