How contractors use DeKalb County electrical permits

Find upgrade-heavy streets: rewires, service expansions and generator or solar hookups tend to cluster in the same older neighborhoods. Market your panel, generator and EV-charger work there.
Watch construction starts: temporary poles and temporary power show where building is about to begin, which matters to framers, suppliers and every trade that follows.
Know who already won the job: electrical permits are filed by the licensed electrician, so a filing tells you where work is happening, not that the job is open.
Bid earlier: new homes, additions and larger remodels all need an electrician. The weekly PermitKite digest lists those projects at the building-permit stage.
