What you get

  • Permits issued in San Diego from 19 Sep 2026 on, collected every day at 20:15 UTC.
  • Tagged by trade: pool, roof, solar, remodel, new home, addition, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, demolition, fence and sign.
  • One line per job when you ask for leads or jobs: the permits at one address, counted once.
  • On a paid plan, a saved search emails you what is new once a day.
  • San Diego gives a ZIP code only in some addresses: for the others Dibsline finds it from the permit's location with the US Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate ZIP codes.
  • San Diego adds a permit's location some days after publishing it, so its newest permits often have no ZIP code yet.
  • San Diego lists no contractor.

Changed by Dibsline: non-building approvals left out, values cleaned and trade tags added. Where the address has no ZIP code, Dibsline finds it from the permit's location with the US Census Bureau's 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate ZIP codes (source: U.S. Census Bureau).

How fresh it is. San Diego publishes a permit a day or more after it is issued, and some days fill in over several days. The live counts above say which days are still arriving, and so does every answer; the status page shows the newest collection and record.
