Every Dallas-Fort Worth project, named the day it files.

What Dallas-Fort Worth publishes, and what we do with it.

Groundbreak Dallas-Fort Worth tracks every Dallas-Fort Worth development project from the public record: permits, TDLR registrations, JETI plant applications, deeds of trust, deeds, zoning cases and FAA height filings, with the contractor, the owner and the lender named, updated daily.

The contractor is named on the permit. The lender is on the deed of trust. Contractor and phone from the Fort Worth permit portal; owner and job value from Fort Worth's daily permit feed. Dallas publishes no permit feed with a value or a contractor, so the city arrives through its zoning cases, deeds and the DCAD roll. TDLR registrations name the owner and the design firm before construction. Buyer, seller, borrower and lender from the Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton and Johnson County Clerks. South of the cities, Midlothian and Burleson permits and the Waxahachie, Midlothian and Cleburne planning cases cover Ellis and Johnson counties. Texas does not disclose sale prices or loan amounts, and records no notice of commencement.
