PERCH PERMITS

Effective date: June 12, 2026

1. What Perch Permits is

Perch Permits is a weekly subscription report of building-permit and planning/zoning information for Nashville–Davidson County, Tennessee, compiled from government public records. It is delivered by email and archived on this website. By subscribing, you agree to these terms.

2. Subscriptions and billing

Subscriptions are month-to-month with no contract and no prepayment beyond the current month. The standard price is $49 per month. Billing is handled by Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record for your subscription: Stripe processes your payment, issues your receipt, and handles any payment-related questions or disputes. Perch Permits never sees or stores your card number. You can cancel at any time through the Stripe customer portal linked from your receipt, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you've already paid for.

3. Founding rate

The first ten subscribers receive the founding rate of $25 per month. The founding rate is a price guarantee, defined as follows:

• It applies for as long as your subscription remains continuously active. Your price will not be raised while you stay subscribed.
• If you cancel and later resubscribe, the then-current standard price applies.
• The founding rate is a guarantee of price, not a guarantee that the service will be published forever (see section 6).

4. What the data is, and what it isn't

Every record in every issue is compiled from public government sources — Metro Nashville's open permit data and published planning agendas — and each record carries a reference to its source. Information that cannot be confirmed from the source record is marked "unverified," never guessed. However:

• Perch Permits republishes what the government publishes. Errors in the underlying public record will appear in the report.
• The report is information, not advice, and is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. It is not legal, financial, or professional advice.
• No outcome is guaranteed. Perch Permits identifies public activity; it does not promise you will win any work from it.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, Perch Permits's total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid in the three months before the claim arose.

5. Acceptable use

Your subscription is for your business. You may share an issue occasionally the way you'd share any newsletter, but redistributing every issue to non-subscribers, reselling the data, or scraping the archive defeats the thing you're paying for and is not permitted.

6. If Perch Permits shuts down

If publication is discontinued, billing stops immediately for all subscribers and the unused portion of any current billing period is refunded. You will never be charged for issues that don't arrive.

7. Removal requests

Perch Permits republishes public permit data and honors removal requests. Anyone named in a report may reply to any issue and will be removed from future issues.

8. Changes and governing law

These terms may be updated; material changes will be announced in the weekly issue before they take effect, and continued subscription after that constitutes acceptance. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee.
