Building permit leads in National City
National City's counter isn't switched on yet. We're still mapping which permit system the city runs. The nightly sweep starts the day we have a road in, and the first scored leads reach subscribers the morning after.

A building permit is the earliest public record most projects ever produce, filed months before anything reaches a bid board or the trade press.
