Every project lead in EchoPermits originates from official municipal open data records. Here is how our data pipeline ingests, filters, and classifies commercial building permits.
Provider: City of Austin, Texas — Austin Development Services
City data is informational, continuously updated, and may differ from official department data.
We filter raw municipal records to surface active commercial construction opportunities with verified coordinates.
Caveat: $1.4M reported across 10 of 80 loaded permits reporting value; valuation counts any reported value above $0; most permits don't report value
Trade specialties (such as General Contracting, Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC) are inferred by keyword matching on each permit’s work description and reported trade valuations, so they are a signal to check, not a confirmed scope.
Project cards use EchoPermits brand artwork labelled with the permit work class. We never show stock photos as if they were the permitted job site, so every detail you act on comes from the public record.
Only Austin, TX commercial building permits are currently live in EchoPermits. Other cities and regional markets shown across the site are strictly coming soon or requestable.
Browse recent opportunities or filter by the trades relevant to your business.
