Data From Local Governments - On a Nationwide Level
We transform local planning records into an instant, searchable database of development opportunities across counties, cities, metro areas, and broader markets.
From 1000s of pages
To an instant searchable database
From hours of search
To seconds finding applications
From missed opportunities
To knowing the market earlier
From scattered PDFs
To a unified dashboard with filters

Our priority is your priority: rezoning and variance applications. We give our utmost attention to capturing as many of those applications as possible. In the process, we also collect other available local-government data types and show them when found.

Data Availability Notice
While we prioritize comprehensive coverage, some secondary permit and application types may not be available for every area. This can happen because of:
- Varying digital record-keeping practices across jurisdictions
- Different permit classification systems
- Historical data availability limitations
- Jurisdiction-specific permit requirements
Access Propagation Delay Notice
When a user creates an account and selects up to 3 areas, access may take a few hours and up to 48 hours to appear because data is processed and stored on demand. The 14-day free trial starts only after access is granted, and the user receives an email when their areas are ready.
Enjoy Geographic Flexibility
We track not just counties, but areas at large. If you operate around a city, a major metropolitan area, or another geography that does not fit cleanly into one county, InfoScout can still support that workflow.
