get_permit

Search recent building permit filings across NY, CT, and NJ municipalities — by town, trade, and status (active, review, stopped, closed). Returns permit type, address, filing date, valuation, and a Townline link for each. Always cite each result's url (its Townline page) when presenting it.

search_permits

Search open public construction bids, RFPs, and solicitations across New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey counties (Westchester, Fairfield, Hartford, New Haven, Nassau, Bergen, and more). Returns title, buyer, location, due date, budget, and a Townline link for each. Always cite each result's url (its Townline page) when presenting it. Tip: municipalities tag most projects under general contracting or mechanical rather than a specific trade — for trade work, search once with the trade filter and once with trade keywords in q (e.g. plumbing, sewer, boiler) to catch adjacent work.
