How Morningline works

  1. Overnight, we read the permits. Every new Central Los Angeles building permit, the day the city publishes it.
  2. We pick the jobs that fit your trade and research who's behind each one: the builder, the owner, the company that just bought the house.
  3. By morning, it's in your inbox: a short call list with phone numbers, so you call first.

How we count

Building permits issued from October 5, 2026 through November 3, 2026, the most recent 30 days of Central Los Angeles data we hold. This area page combines the City of Los Angeles's Central planning area, from each one's public building permit records. Each permit is counted once. Values are the valuations reported on the permits, leaving out obvious data-entry errors; a project filed as several permits is valued once. Contractor counts are companies named on the permits.
