Construction permits are public the day they file. Build Source matches Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Dallas filings to your trade — while the job is still up for grabs.
Build Source is a subscription database of Texas construction permit records. It reads public filings from Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Dallas, matches them to your trade, and gives you a searchable, exportable workspace. Commercial from $399/month, residential from $149/month — first month free, cancel any time.
Three jobs pulled from the piles our subscribers search — public records, linked back to the issuing city.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fort Worth | PB26-09389 | JPS Medical Outpatient — dark shell, 1300 S Main St | $264,000,000 | Issued |

Read from the four cities' public filing systems. Every record in the workspace carries its source URL. If a metro is thin, the workspace says so — we don't pad piles.
The job usually goes to whoever knew first. Permits are public the moment they file — but they're scattered across four city systems in four different formats. Build Source reads them and matches them to what you build, so you're making the call while everyone else is still searching.

we have real, usable records there — not before.

From the four cities' own public filing systems.

access through the period you've paid for.
