Difference Between Permit Search and Contractor Search
The different results returned by permit versus contractor searches
Permit search returns permits that were pulled on specific addresses in the geographic area you searched. Contractor search returns B2B contact information, license data, and classification data about the contractors who pulled those permits. It's important to note that not every permit will have an associated contractor. This depends on whether the county/city requires the permit application to include contractor information, and also on whether the contractor chooses to provide this information when applying.
