A new roof means no tear-off for 25 years. A new EV charger or panel upgrade means the wiring is ready for a battery. Fortific finds every one of them in Austin's permits each morning, skips homes that already have solar, and sends you the owner's mailing address.

Austin publishes every permit it issues. We pull the full feed each morning, so nothing slips past.
Each permit is decoded into plain English and checked against every sub-permit on the job, so we know which contractors are named and which trades it still needs.
Only re-roofs, EV chargers and panel upgrades in your ZIP codes, never a home that already pulled a solar permit, each with the owner's mailing address.

No. You get the owner of record and their mailing address from the appraisal district's public tax roll, for mail outreach and door-knocking. Owners who have asked the appraisal district to keep their records confidential are never included.
We skip any job that has a solar or battery permit, and skip EV-charger and panel permits whose description mentions solar, PV, a battery or a generator.
Mailing homeowners is legal and common. Fortific only provides public records and the owner's mailing address for mail; you agree to use owner records for mail outreach only, and we honor removal requests.
Every lead comes straight from a permit the city issued, checked against every sub-permit on the same job, so we know who's already named. The "why" line tells you exactly which rule made it a lead. The job value and contractor phone are whatever the city recorded; when the city left them blank, so do we.
No phone numbers. Most leads are the contractor running the job, with their phone when the city lists it, which is most of the time. For work that follows a job, like a fence after a new pool, you get the owner of record and their mailing address from the Travis Central Appraisal District's public tax roll, ready for a mailer, plus whether they live there and when they bought. Owners who've had the appraisal district keep their records confidential are never included.
Most lists sort permits by the trade on the permit, so a roofer gets a list of roofs other roofers already sold. We sort by the trades the job still needs. We check every sub-permit filed for the job so we never send you one where your trade is already named, and every lead says in one line why it's yours.
Yes. Building permits and the appraisal roll are public records, and calling a contractor about work on their job is ordinary business. Owner records are for mail outreach only, which you agree to in our terms, and we remove any owner who asks. You're responsible for following do-not-call and anti-solicitation rules where they apply.
