PERCH PERMITS

Every new building permit and upcoming zoning item in Nashville–Davidson County, in one short email every Monday morning. Built for roofing, pool, and fence contractors.

What you get

One email, every Monday by 6 AM, covering the prior week. Permits grouped by trade and sorted by dollar value, so the biggest jobs are at the top. A "future work radar" of new houses and subdivision plans before they break ground. And the full week's permit table as a spreadsheet (CSV) that opens in Excel or Google Sheets, or imports straight into the CRM you already run — JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Jobber, Housecall Pro. Five minutes on your phone and you know what moved in the county last week.

Permit search tools can show you what already happened. The radar section is the part nobody else does for Nashville: rezonings, subdivision plats, and new-construction permits — the work that breaks ground in three to twelve months, with the applicants named, while there's still time to be first in the door.

Issues also get posted to the issue archive on this site, so you can always look back at past weeks or check in between emails.

Who it's for

Nashville-area trade contractors and the people who estimate for them. The first issues are tuned for roofing, pool, and fence companies. If you do concrete, excavation, landscaping, or signs, the full table and the radar section still cover you, and dedicated sections for those trades are next.

How it's made

Every issue is built from Metro Nashville's official public records — the county's permit database and Planning Commission agendas. Every record in every issue links back to its source. If a dollar amount or a name can't be confirmed from the record, it's marked "unverified," never guessed. Public information, organized and checked, every week.
