Source
- Tampa: Permit records on arcgis.tampagov.net, published by Tampa. Source dataset. Collected window(s): Aug 22, 2026 – Oct 16, 2026. Last pulled Oct 18, 2026. Partial source: added 2026-10-18: City of Tampa OpenData 'Single Family Permits' (Accela workflow rows, all TASK_HISTORY=Issuance/Issued, so TASK_HISTORY_STATUS_DATE = issue date). Scope is residential new construction + additions (1-2 family) only; no contractor/description -> partial
Metric: Residential = the source marks the permit's use as residential (permits with commercial or unknown use are not counted). New Construction = the permit's type or work description matches the Curbside Signal new-construction rules. Counts exclude void or cancelled permits. Dates are the jurisdiction's permit issue date. The City of Tampa dataset covers new one- and two-family homes and additions only, so Tampa city permits count only toward new construction and additions. Records are deduplicated on source and permit number. How we count. Part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL 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: A new home leads to landscaping, fencing, security, pest control and window coverings.
