Building permits in Chicago are public records filed with the city's building department. They cover new construction, renovations, demolitions, electrical work, plumbing, roofing, solar installations, and more. Every permit includes the property address, type of work, estimated valuation, and the names of the applicant, contractor, and property owner.
The Permit Sheet monitors Chicago's official permit database multiple times per day and delivers matching permits directly to your inbox. Whether you're a roofing contractor looking for storm damage repair jobs, a solar installer targeting homes under construction, or a real estate investor tracking renovation activity — our alerts help you find opportunities faster than manually checking the city portal.
