Source
- Savannah: Permit records on pub.sagis.org, published by Savannah. Source dataset. Collected window(s): Aug 21, 2026 – Oct 15, 2026. Last pulled Oct 18, 2026. Partial source: added 2026-10-18: SAGIS 'Residential Building Permits by Permit Status'; same caveats as savannah_com -> partial
Metric: Residential = the source marks the permit's use as residential (permits with commercial or unknown use are not counted). Demolition = the permit's type or work description matches the Curbside Signal demolition rules. Counts exclude void or cancelled permits. Dates are each permit's issue date. This Savannah layer lists only permits that are still open (issued, in review or approved). Permits that have been finaled drop out of it, so these counts run low. Records are deduplicated on source and permit number. How we count. Part of the Savannah, GA metro: every trade × city page there.
The honest limit. A permit usually means the job is already sold. We say that up front. The value is what happens around it:
- Neighbor marketing around active jobs: same-age houses on the same street.
- Cross-trade follow-on demand: new roof → solar, gutters, insulation; remodel → HVAC, electrical, landscaping, pool; new build → pest, security, landscaping.
- Competitor intelligence: which contractors pull permits where (where the jurisdiction publishes it), and who to recruit as subs.
- Early-stage projects for commercial trades and GC subs.
Follow-on: Demolition leads to new construction, foundation and utility work.
