About Plumb Intelligence

Where our data comes from — and where it doesn't.

We fuse public records from 20 Arizona cities, Maricopa County parcels, and the statewide Arizona ROC roster into one decision-ready view of every permit, contractor, and property we cover. This page is the honest version: every source, how often it refreshes, what it covers — and what we deliberately never claim to know.

The rules we don't break

Show your work.

Every fact on a record links back to the document it came from — the permit number, the jurisdiction, the filing date. Nothing is asserted without a citation you can open and check yourself.

Say when we don't know.

Inferred values wear an ~ EST. mark and fuzzy matches wear a Likely badge with the confidence. We would rather show an honest gap than a confident guess — estimates are never dressed up as facts.

Fresh beats big.

A permit is a buying signal with a half-life. We'd rather cover one state daily than fifty states monthly — and our customers' win rates agree.

Sell the play, not the data.

Data is the ingredient, not the meal. The product is the moment a rep says “I would never have known that” — and then closes the business.

The four-layer record

Every property and contractor is assembled from these public sources. Refresh cadence is the fastest we can reliably pull from each source.

All sources are public records. Plumb aggregates and structures — it does not originate government data. Where a permit names a contractor, we link it to the ROC roster: 67% of named permits carry a link today (43% of all permits — many filings never name one). The confidence is shown on every link.

From raw record to verified profile

Ingesting a permit isn't the same as trusting it. Contractor profiles move up a four-level ladder as they're claimed and confirmed — and the public record stays the public record at every level.

L0
Unclaimed
A public-record profile, assembled from permits, the ROC roster, and county records. Most profiles start — and are useful — here.
L1
Claimed
The contractor has claimed the profile. Their edits are shown as overlays on the public record — they never overwrite it.
L2
Owner-confirmed
The claimant proved they control the business behind the license — not just that they found the page.
L3
Plumb-Verified
The highest trust mark we award. License status and disciplinary history always come straight from the ROC — no level makes them editable.

If a record is wrong

Public data lags and errs. Anyone can flag a record; contractors who claim their profile get a direct correction channel and a documented turnaround.

01
Flag it

Tell us what's wrong on any profile or permit. No account required to report an error.

02
We re-check the source

We compare your report against the originating jurisdiction record — not just accept or reject it.

03
Corrected & dated

Fixes are timestamped and the source note updated, so you can see what changed and why.

Who we are

Built in Phoenix. Obsessed with one market.

Plumb Intelligence started with a simple observation: the people who sell into Arizona construction — supplier reps, trade contractors, service businesses — make their living on knowing things first, and the tools available to them are either national platforms that treat Phoenix as a rounding error, or a Saturday spent clicking through city permit portals one at a time.

So we went deep instead of wide. Every permit in the Arizona cities we cover, every day. The full Arizona ROC license roster, including the disciplinary actions and the unlicensed-violator list nobody else bothers to ingest. Every Maricopa County parcel and its sales history. Matched together, record by record, by people who can drive to the addresses in the data.

Then we did the part that matters: turned it into plays. Not a search box — a reason to pick up the phone, every morning, with the number to dial. The bet is simple: in a business where relationships win deals, the rep who knows first wins the relationship.

Plumb Intelligence LLC is an independent, founder-run company based in Phoenix, Arizona. We're small on purpose: the founder reads every piece of customer feedback, and the roadmap is whatever makes reps win more.
