Texas has 11,556 active building permits in our database right now, with 3,833 new permits filed in just the last 30 days. That's steady work coming through the pipeline. Austin leads the state in permit volume, making it the best hunting ground for new leads. Electrical work dominates the permit types we're tracking, with 3,480 permits on file. Plumbing follows close behind at 3,183, and HVAC sits at 2,079. If you're a roofer, electrician, plumber, or HVAC contractor, there's material here to find qualified jobs. General contractors can source subcontractor opportunities across all trades. Permit data works because it shows you real construction activity before competitors hear about it through informal channels. When you search our database, you're looking at jobs that have already cleared the approval stage and are ready to move forward. That's the difference between chasing rumors and targeting confirmed work.
Start with permit data. Every new construction project requires permits before work begins, which means permit filings are your earliest indicator of upcoming jobs. Search our database by trade type, city, and filing date to see what's been approved recently. A contractor searching for electrical leads would filter for electrical permits filed in the last 30 days, then contact the property owner or general contractor listed on the permit. This gives you a 30 to 90-day head start before the job gets posted on bid boards or social media.
Austin is the most active market in our database with 11,556 permits on file. This reflects the city's continued growth and construction activity across residential and commercial sectors. When targeting leads in Texas, Austin should be your primary focus. However, permit activity varies by season and economic conditions, so checking our database monthly helps you track where activity is shifting. Some months you might see upticks in suburban areas as developers start new phases of larger projects.
Electrical permits lead at 3,480 on file, followed by plumbing at 3,183 and HVAC at 2,079. New construction permits account for 999 filings. For electricians, the volume is there. Plumbers have solid opportunity. HVAC contractors should have consistent leads, especially on larger projects that include mechanical systems. If you work one of these trades, permit data gives you a clearer picture of where the actual work is happening rather than waiting for word of mouth or hoping jobs come through your existing networks.
