# Returns address, dates, est. value,
# and contractor for every new roofRoofing permits are public records. PermitStack normalizes 6.8M+ ROOFING permits from city portals (Socrata, ArcGIS, Tyler EnerGov, Accela and more) into one schema across 48 states and DC. Query category=ROOFING by city, state, or ZIP, filter by issued_after to get only fresh filings, and you have a daily storm-restoration and reroof lead feed — starting on a free 100 requests/day tier.
Don't want to write code? The CSV export gives you every roofing permit we hold for a city or county, emailed as a spreadsheet, so you can sort by reroof date and find the homes due for a new roof. On any paid API plan, /v1/plays/system-age?trade=roofing returns that list directly for a city or ZIP: roofs permitted 12–25 years ago with no reroof permit since.
Bought roofing leads cost $40-150+ each and get resold to five competitors. A permit is a first-party public record of a homeowner who already committed to roof work — no bidding war, no shared list.
The ROOFING category spans new roofs, reroofs, tear-offs, and repairs across 48 states and DC — one of 20 categories in a 120M+ permit database.
Most sources are re-ingested every night. After a hailstorm, the wave of new roofing permits shows up as soon as each city publishes it, and every jurisdiction shows the date its data runs through.
100 free API requests per day, no credit card. Each request returns up to 50 permits from the last 30 days — enough to validate a territory before you pay anything.
Build an automated pipeline that runs daily. No manual portal-checking, no scraping, no spreadsheets.
Query category=ROOFING with city, state, or zip_code, then add issued_after to capture only recent storm-restoration and reroof filings.
Each permit returns the full property address, GPS coordinates, estimated project value, status, work description, and the contractor of record where the source provides it.
Poll /v1/permits/events for new and changed permits, or register a webhook to get pushed every fresh roofing match — straight into your CRM or dialer.
Hit the same REST endpoint from any language. Authenticate with a single X-API-Key header — no SDK required.

An asphalt roof permitted 18-25 years ago is nearing end of life. Use the back-history and /v1/property/history to flag homes due for replacement in your service area.
Recent roofing permits signal insurance-driven restoration. Cross-reference roof age and replacement dates to position supplement and full-replacement bids.
A brand-new roof is the ideal surface for panels. Hand qualified reroof leads to a solar partner — or run the reverse play and offer roofing to solar installers.
Sort by contractor_name to see which roofers dominate each ZIP, their permit volume, and average project value — then target the territories they underserve.
Compare ROOFING permit volume across cities and ZIPs to allocate crews and sales reps where reroof demand is actually concentrated.
Every jurisdiction carries a data_status flag — active, historical_archive, or frozen — exposed in the API and on our public coverage page. You never mistake a decommissioned feed for a live one, and future-dated permits are rejected at ingest so your dates stay trustworthy.
Roofing permits are public records filed when a homeowner reroofs or repairs a roof. PermitStack normalizes them into one API so you can query category=ROOFING by city, state, or ZIP and filter by issued_after to surface only recent filings. Each permit returns the property address, dates, estimated value, and contractor name — high-intent leads you can push straight into your CRM.
PermitStack re-ingests most sources every night, starting at 03:00 UTC, so a new permit usually reaches the API within a day of the city publishing it and you reach homeowners while the project is active. Some cities publish weeks after filing and some sources are temporarily blocked by their vendor, so every jurisdiction reports a data-through date (its newest permit we hold) and carries a data_status flag (active, historical_archive, or frozen) so you always know how current a source is.
PermitStack holds 6.8M+ ROOFING permits within a database of 120M+ total permits spanning ~902 active jurisdictions across 48 states and DC, plus 75 historical-archive jurisdictions for back-history. Browse the roofing coverage by city →
