The backyards getting built this year, before the deck is stained.
In short
PermitRadius keeps the permits that end in a hot tub: hot tub and pool permits, new decks and patios, and new houses over $1.2M. You see the address, the builder and the timing — while the deck is being framed and the electrician is already on site. From CA$39 a month, no per-lead fees.

Hot tubs · permits by city
Built for hot tub and spa dealers.
From city hall to your phone, the same week.
Cities publish permits as open data. We read them every morning, tag what’s being built, and send you the ones that are hot tub work.
- 01
The city issues the permit
Every building permit is published as open data, usually the same day it’s issued. It carries the address, the value, the work type and often the builder.
- 02
We read it and tag what’s being built
Each morning we pull every new permit, scrub personal details, and read the description for the features that matter to you.

Three plays that win the job.
01
The deck cut-out
Call the builder while the deck is framing. A hot tub pad and a 50-amp run cost almost nothing before the boards go on.
Best for: dealers02
The occupancy gift
New homes over $1.2M close a few months after the permit. Time a mailer or a door-hang to move-in week.
Best for: showroom traffic03
The service handoff
Every hot tub permit is a service contract in a year. Be the number on the fridge before the first drain-and-fill.
Best for: service techsThis month’s deck permit is next summer’s hot tub.
The pad, the power and the access all get decided during construction. Be in the conversation then, not after the fence is up.

What hot tub and spa dealers ask us.
Do hot tubs even need a permit?
Mostly an electrical permit, which isn’t open data. That’s why the hot tub filter also keeps deck, patio, pool and $1.2M+ new-house permits — the yards where tubs land.
Can I see only decks?
Yes. Filter your list by the Deck / patio chip, or watch for decks so they’re pinned to the top of your Wednesday list.
Is there homeowner information?
No. Site address, permit details and the builder company only.
Which cities?
Vancouver, Surrey, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Victoria, with more added by permit volume.
