Demolition work is dominating the activity - 502 demolition permits are on file - followed by pools (275 permits), plumbing work (195 permits), roofing jobs (149 permits), and renovations (109 permits). This volume tells you there's real money flowing into the market for contractors who know where to look. The action isn't spread evenly across Nashville. Five zip codes account for the majority of permits. 37203 leads by a significant margin with 276 permits on file. 37206 follows with 138 permits, 37209 with 135, 37211 with 129, and 37207 with 111. If you're a roofer, plumber, HVAC contractor, or general contractor looking to focus your prospecting, these areas are where the work is happening right now. Here's what matters for your bottom line: the average permit value in Nashville is $515,226. That's meaningful project size. Demolition permits skew larger on average, but plumbing, roofing, and renovation permits still represent solid jobs worth bidding on. The key is getting in front of permit filings before your competition does. Contractors who monitor new permits daily can reach out to property owners and GCs within hours of filing, not weeks later. Our database pulls from Nashville public records and updates daily. You're seeing real data from actual permit filings, not estimates or projections. When you're hunting for leads, speed matters. A permit filed yesterday that your competitor doesn't know about yet is your opportunity to write the bid.
Monitor new permit filings daily. Nashville receives roughly 529 new permits every 30 days, which means there are leads being filed constantly. Set up alerts for permit types that match your trade - if you're a roofer, track roofing permits; if you're a plumber, track plumbing and renovation permits. The contractors who win bids are the ones reaching out within 24-48 hours of a permit filing. Public record databases like ours let you see filings the same day they're submitted, giving you a real advantage over contractors checking weekly or monthly.
Demolition leads by a wide margin with 502 permits on file. That's followed by pools (275 permits), plumbing (195 permits), roofing (149 permits), and renovations (109 permits). If you work in any of these trades, there's active work in the market. Demolition permits often lead larger projects, so they're worth close attention even if you're a subcontractor - many demolition jobs need electricians, HVAC contractors, and other trades for pre-demolition work or site prep.
