02What the record proves, city by city

Three cities, two different things the record can say.

CityWhat we can claimElectrical permits
Anaheim Tier A · Owner-builder flag, no name The city's permit layer is 41 days behind, so Anaheim is not quoted this week.
Huntington Beach Tier B · All new permits 61
Brea Tier B · All new permits 7
Aliso Viejo Tier B · All new permits 5
Laguna Hills Tier B · All new permits 3
Laguna Niguel Tier B · All new permits 11
Lake Forest Tier B · All new permits 15

La Habra Tier B · All new permits 4
Tustin Tier B · All new permits 9
Newport Beach Tier B · All new permits 1
Westminster Tier B · All new permits 35
Yorba Linda Tier B · All new permits 0

Tier A · Owner-builder flag, no name

Anaheim stamps every permit with an owner-builder flag. Where it is set and no contractor is on the record, the lead says exactly that: the city recorded the owner as the builder and no contractor is named on the permit. The city does not publish the owner's name, so we never call these "an individual" — that sentence belongs to the cities that name the person.

Tier B · All new permits

Huntington Beach, Brea, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, La Habra, Tustin, Newport Beach, Westminster and Yorba Linda publish the permit and the licensed professional where there is one, never who pulled it. A lead there is a new permit at this address — address, scope, value, permit number; the record names a licensed contractor or no one. Nothing from these cities is ever called owner-pulled.

About the Anaheim dates. The city publishes its permit layer about every two weeks, so "this week" there is the seven days ending on the day the city last published (2026-08-06). The page says so next to the number. If the layer falls more than 21 days behind, Anaheim is left out of the count and the email until it catches up — we would rather show you nothing than a stale number.

03What an electrical lead carries
01

Street address

of the job site, as the city recorded it.

02

Scope

panel upgrades, subpanels, service upgrades and EV chargers — and the rest of it, in the city's own words.

03

Value

where the city captured one, so you can size the job before you drive out.

04

Permit number

quote it to the city that issued it. A map link comes with it.

06Against a paid lead

A month here costs about what one Angi lead costs.

Angi & Thumbtack

  • The average Angi pro pays about $401 a month in lead fees alone — nearer $618 all in
  • That works out at $29.07 an Angi lead. Neither company publishes a rate card
  • Billed per lead, so your busiest month is your most expensive one
  • It is a form fill: 1,879 BBB complaints against Angi Inc in three years, 921 against Thumbtack

Groundwork

  • $39/mo flat — under a tenth of that $401, and it does not move when the week is busy
  • No per-lead charge, no membership fee, no contract
  • Every qualifying job for your trade and region — you decide which are worth bidding
  • It is a building permit with no contractor named on it — filed, dated and verifiable by number

Angi figures here are our own arithmetic on Angi Inc's annual filing (Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025), not prices Angi quotes — Angi publishes no rate card. US Lead revenue $587.05M ÷ 20,195,000 Leads = $29.07 a lead; ÷ 122,000 average monthly active pros = about $401 a month per pro on leads, $618 counting all of Angi's US revenue per pro. BBB complaint counts read 12 August 2026.
