You already know everyone who needs this

Your customer list is your referral list. Every contractor, builder, and developer you sell to has a reason to want daily permit intelligence — and you're the most trusted voice to introduce it.

🏗️

General Contractors & Builders

GCs and home builders who monitor new construction and addition permits know exactly when projects are kicking off — and can plan material procurement before the job site calls them. Your highest-volume customers are your best referrals.

🔨

Specialty Trade Contractors

Roofers, framers, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors all pull specialty permits that signal active material demand. Trade contractors who track permit activity in their zip codes find new jobs — and place new orders.

💼

Real Estate Developers & Investors

Developers managing multiple active sites and investors renovating properties need permit monitoring at scale. A Permit Notice subscription is an operational tool for anyone running more than one project at a time.

🏘️

Property Managers

Property managers responsible for large portfolios track permit status on managed properties to plan renovations, confirm contractor compliance, and stay ahead of maintenance cycles.

🏠

Home Inspectors

Inspectors review permit history on every property they evaluate. Those who pull permit data before arriving catch unpermitted work faster — and they're natural referrals for every other professional in the transaction.

☀️

Solar Sales Professionals

Solar reps who monitor new construction and re-roof permits find homes in the perfect window for solar installation. They're a natural addition to any building trades referral list.

🧱

Fellow Building Material Reps

Other reps at different suppliers, distributors, or specialty material companies serve the same contractor base you do. Cross-referrals in the building supply industry are common — and this gives you something concrete to share.

Your customer base is your referral engine.

You already have relationships with builders, contractors, and developers. Here's how building material reps are putting those relationships to work.

Everything you need to know

Maintain at least 10 active paying referrals at any point in the year. "Active" means they're currently subscribed to any Permit Notice plan — if a referral cancels, a new signup replaces them in your count. We track this automatically in your affiliate dashboard.
Referral commissions are paid on the 15th of the month following the signup. So a referral who subscribes on June 3rd would generate a $100 payment on July 15th. Payment via ACH direct deposit or PayPal — your choice at registration.
New construction permits are the highest-value signal — every foundation permit is a full material order waiting to be placed. Addition and renovation permits identify homeowners and developers mid-project who need specialty materials fast. Re-roof permits flag roofing material demand. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits signal active trade work where your product line intersects. Many reps monitor commercial permits separately from residential to prioritize by order size.
Yes — the 20% first-year discount applies to all plan tiers: Starter ($49/mo → $39.20/mo), Pro ($149/mo → $119.20/mo), and Enterprise ($499/mo → $399.20/mo). The discount applies to all 12 months of their first year, not just the first month.
No cap, ever. Refer 10 or refer 100 — every paying subscriber you bring in earns you $100. The more active referral partners you have in your network, the larger your monthly payout.
If your active referral count drops below 10, your Pro plan billing resumes at the standard $149/month rate. Your cash commissions continue regardless — only the free plan benefit is tied to the 10-referral threshold.
