9,663 residential renovation and building permits with an issue or filing date on or after 2026-06-01, across 40 cities, as of September 11, 2026. This is a floor, not a national total.
Where does the data come from?
Municipal building-permit open-data feeds (for example NYC Department of Buildings, Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, East Baton Rouge permits, Montgomery County MD permits, Portland BDS). Each record is one permit on a residential parcel with an address; feeds are re-ingested nightly.
Why do renovation permits matter to cleaning and painting companies?
When a permit closes, the homeowner needs a post-construction clean and finish painting, and usually has neither vendor lined up. BellAveGo delivers permit records as exclusive leads — one cleaning company and one painting company per zip, owner name and traced phone — for $29/week after a 3-day free trial.

Methodology. BellAveGo ingests municipal permit feeds nightly and keeps one record per permit on a residential parcel. Only cities with a machine-readable permit feed appear, so coverage is uneven and counts are floors. Every figure reproduces against the city portal; email us for the exact dataset ids.
