The problem
You find out late, you find out second, or you don't find out.
Contractors
Useful records sit across county and city portals. Connecting a property change with the right commercial account takes research.
Property managers
Your team needs to know what the available records show, when they were checked and what still needs verification.

The list for your trade, or the watch on your buildings.

How it works
Supported records, brought together for each covered property.
Each county publishes permits, code cases, sales and ownership in different systems. Scouten joins them, links the people and companies around each property, and scores what it finds for your trade.
We read the public records
Permits, code cases, sales, who owns each property, and how old the roof and building are, joined up per property. Every fact keeps a link to where it came from.
We score the properties
Review priorities help you choose which accounts to investigate, with the recorded reasons and limitations shown alongside them.
Choose what to review next
Contractors review accounts that may fit their trade and territory. Property teams review the supported records for their covered buildings.

What we cover
Honest about the records.
Each county publishes different records, and a county is not a city. We say which records we hold, from whom, for which jurisdiction, and what is missing. Coverage is confirmed per address.
- Miami-Dade County layer
- Authority: Miami-Dade County: building violations, Certificates of Use, permits, property appraiser roll. Jurisdiction: The county layer. The county code-case feed covers unincorporated Miami-Dade; the municipalities are not stated. Record type: Code cases, Certificates of Use, permits, sales and ownership. Historical period: Unknown. Source date: Unknown. Last successful read: Unknown. Gaps: city permit and code-case books Scouten does not read are not included; the source dates and the last read are stated on each brief, per source.
- Broward and Palm Beach counties
- Authority: County property appraiser rolls (Florida DOR roll). Jurisdiction: The county roll only. Permit and code-case coverage is not claimed for a Broward or Palm Beach address unless that address's jurisdiction is confirmed. Record type: Property roll: building age, ownership and sales. Historical period: Unknown. Source date: Unknown. Last successful read: Unknown. Gaps: municipal permit and code-case records are not covered unless confirmed for the address; the source dates and the last read are stated on each brief, per source.
Plans
Two plans. Pick the one that fits your work.
Both plans are month to month. Start with a free sample, then a 14-day trial with no card. Plans are not exclusive: other companies can use the same public records.
Growth
Trade companies$297 / month
Founding rate: the price stays the same for as long as your subscription stays continuously active. If it lapses, the price on sale at that time applies.
- Plan scope: 100 business-contact credits per UTC calendar month and 3 users
- Account records for your trade and territory, each with the reason, the event date and the owner, manager or contractor role where the record shows one
- One credit is one delivered business email or phone number with its role, source and date, counted by workspace, channel and value. A duplicate or unusable contact is credited back, and a repeat delivery of the same one is free in any month
- Credits are counted by UTC calendar month, not by your billing date. Unused credits do not roll over. There are no automatic overages: once the credits are used, eligible contacts are queued and not charged
- Our team counts credits and sets up your people by hand. There is no automatic meter yet.
Monitor
Property managers$199 / month
Month to month. No annual lock-in.
- Plan scope: up to 25 monitored property addresses or buildings and 3 users

- A weekly email digest to the people you name
- 10 history briefs a month, prepared by our team on request
- Our team sets up your properties and people and keeps the counts by hand. There is no automatic meter yet.
- Your records can be exported on request at no extra charge
See the terms in plain words. Nothing is charged until you choose a paid plan yourself.
Straight answers
Three things people ask before they pay.
- Isn't it too late once something is public?
- Public records can give you a reason to investigate an account, but they do not confirm that a job is available. A missing reroof record may reflect limited history or missing coverage, not unfinished work.
- Is my territory exclusive?
- No. The records are public, so other companies can see the same properties. What you get is the ranking, the reasons and the time.
- What can you actually see in my county?
- It depends on what the county publishes; the coverage block above says exactly which records we hold from each county and which jurisdictions they reach.
