Build Alerts watches what cities publish, matches permits to property records, and emails you a clean daily lead sheet — owner names, phones, addresses, and scope. No tab-hopping, no dashboards.
"I built this after watching a dumpster company owner spend 45 minutes every morning navigating city permit portals — copying addresses into Google, trying to find a phone number, repeating it for every new filing. He was doing this before his crew even showed up. Build Alerts does that in full, automatically, before 7 AM."
Most cities publish through MyGovernmentOnline, Accela, or Tyler EnerGov. We monitor the same data feeds the clerks do — no waiting on weekly exports, no manual portal-hopping.
Permits give you an address. Property records give you the owner. We index the CAD data per county and join on a normalized address — so you get a name, not just a parcel.
For owners who are businesses, we pull phone, website, and registered agent info. For homeowners, we surface the listed Places number where one exists.
We maintain keyword profiles per trade — re-roof, demolition, new construction, plumbing rough-in. You receive only what's relevant. We update the profiles when permit terminology changes.
The morning run finishes by 5 AM CT. Digests are in your inbox by 6:45. A weekly recap arrives Friday afternoon. That's the entire interface.
