Stamptd tracks every new construction permit filed in Tampa and Hillsborough County daily and turns it into a lead -- complete with the property owner and builder's contact info already attached. A construction project becomes public record the moment its building permit is filed, well before it appears in a trade publication or goes out to bid. This guide covers how Tampa's permitting system labels new construction specifically, what a typical filing includes, and how Stamptd surfaces it as an early lead the same day it's filed.
The City of Tampa's permitting system files new residential construction under its own distinct record type, separate from additions, remodels, and trade-specific permits like roofing or plumbing. A new single- or two-family home, for example, is typically labeled directly as new construction on the permit record, making it identifiable without reading the full project description.
Tampa's system also issues a large volume of standalone trade permits -- roofing, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work filed independently of any new-construction project, often for repairs or upgrades to existing homes. These are useful leads in their own right, but they're a different category from ground-up new construction, which typically represents a larger, longer project with more trades still to be brought on.
A Tampa new-construction filing typically includes the property address, the builder or applicant of record, and the property owner. Many residential new-construction permits in Tampa are filed by a permit expediting service or builder on the owner's behalf, which is itself a useful signal -- it usually means a licensed builder is already attached to the project even before individual trade permits are pulled.
New construction is where the most subcontractor trade slots are typically still open at the point a permit is first filed -- electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other trade work often haven't been separately permitted yet even after the main building permit is issued. Reaching out close to that original filing date, rather than waiting for individual trade permits to follow, is generally the highest-value window before a project's trades are already decided.
Stamptd tracks Tampa's permit feed daily and separates new residential construction into its own filterable category, distinct from roofing, plumbing, electrical, and other trade-specific permits. Each new-construction lead includes the property owner and builder or applicant contact information already attached, so outreach can happen the same day a project is filed rather than after trades are already lined up.
New construction permits filed with the City of Tampa are public record, searchable through the city's own Accela-based permitting portal. Stamptd tracks this same feed daily and separates new construction into its own category, with the property owner and builder's contact info already attached to each lead.
Tampa's permit records label new residential construction under its own distinct record type, separate from trade-specific repair or replacement permits like roofing or plumbing work, so the record type itself is usually the fastest way to tell them apart.
Many residential new-construction permits in Tampa are filed by a builder or permit expediting service on the property owner's behalf, and this applicant information is listed directly on the permit record. Stamptd surfaces this contact information alongside each new-construction lead.
Yes. Tampa issues a large volume of standalone trade permits independent of new-construction filings. Stamptd tracks both, but keeps new construction in its own separate, filterable category since it represents a different kind of lead than a single trade repair or replacement permit.
Close to the original filing date is generally best, since individual trade permits (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) often haven't been filed yet even after the main construction permit is issued. Stamptd's feed updates daily specifically to make that early window visible.
