Exclusive Permit Access
Standard PermitPub access is shared and affordable. Exclusive access is market protection and is priced accordingly.
When you buy exclusivity, you are not just buying permit leads. You are asking PermitPub not to sell the covered permit access to other buyers during your paid term.
Shared vs. protected
Multiple non-competing buyers may work the same market. Security companies, sign companies, payment processors, roofers, solar companies, HVAC companies, insurance agents, telecom reps, janitorial companies, contractors, and other teams can all use permit signals differently.
That is why standard access is priced lower.
Exclusive access blocks other buyers from receiving the covered permit signals during your term. PermitPub gives up the right to sell that named city, category, county, or territory to other companies.
That is why exclusivity is priced as protection, not as a normal subscription upgrade.
Two ways to protect a market
Best when the buyer only needs protection inside one sales lane: security, outdoor living, solar and EV, new business openings, home upgrades, signage, occupancy, or another named category.
PermitPub may still sell non-competing categories in that same city. A security company can protect security, alarm, access-control, and low-voltage signals while PermitPub still sells pool, solar, roofing, restaurant-opening, or outdoor-living signals.
Broader protection for buyers who want the named city to themselves. PermitPub agrees not to sell qualified buyable permit signals from that city to other buyers during the paid term.
Full-city quotes depend on city size, permit volume, commercial value, categories blocked, and whether the market is standard, major, countywide, or metro-level.

Major market warning
PermitPub will not quote major national markets at standard city rates. New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington, DC, major counties, large metros, high-volume permit markets, and strategic national markets require custom quotes.
Major-market pricing depends on permit volume, qualified signal count, population, commercial activity, categories blocked, term length, payment structure, and whether the buyer wants citywide, countywide, borough-level, or metro-wide protection.
