GetCodeViolations

GetCodeViolations is the revolutionary lead generation engine built exclusively for contractors who are tired of fighting for scraps. We unlock a hidden goldmine of high-intent customers: property owners who have been officially cited by the city and are legally required to hire a contractor. Every single day, municipal inspectors across the country issue violations for damaged roofs, broken plumbing, electrical hazards, peeling paint, and HVAC failures. These aren't just leads; they are urgent, time-sensitive projects with a government mandate behind them. Our platform automatically monitors hundreds of city and county government databases across 29+ states and 130+ cities, delivering these exclusive, high-converting leads directly to your dashboard. Built for roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, painters, and general contractors, GetCodeViolations gives you first-mover advantage on jobs where the homeowner already knows they have a problem and needs it fixed now. For a flat monthly fee, you get unlimited access to this curated pipeline, eliminating the expensive, competitive pay-per-lead model of services like HomeAdvisor. This is proactive lead generation at its most powerful.

Daily Violation Alerts & Unlimited Leads

Stop searching and start receiving. Our system scans hundreds of municipal databases every single day for new code violations. You get a constant, fresh stream of leads delivered directly to your dashboard. Unlike other services that charge per lead, we offer unlimited access for one flat monthly rate, so you can pursue every opportunity without worrying about cost-per-click or referral fees eating into your profits.

Trade-Specific Filtering & Categorization

Not every lead is for you. That's why we automatically categorize every violation by trade—Roofing, Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Painting, and more. You can filter your dashboard to see only the violations that match your specific services, saving you hours of manual sorting and ensuring you spend time only on the jobs you are qualified and ready to win.

Geographic Targeting & Area Management

Focus your efforts where you work. Our "My Areas" feature lets you select the specific states and cities where you operate. With coverage in over 130 cities across 29+ states, you can build a hyper-targeted lead list. The Pro plan allows you to monitor up to 3 areas, ensuring you get the most relevant, local opportunities without any geographic waste.

Exportable Lead Data & Dashboard Tools

Take your leads and run with them. Your dashboard provides all the critical details at a glance: property address, violation description, category, and date. You can easily export your entire filtered list of leads with one click via CSV file, making it simple to import into your CRM, mailing software, or for your team to start door-knocking campaigns immediately.

Roofing Contractors Securing Storm Damage Jobs

After a major storm, city inspectors are busy citing properties for damaged shingles and active water intrusion. Roofing contractors using GetCodeViolations get instant notifications for these specific violations. They can reach out via mail or in-person while the homeowner is most motivated, often securing the job before the homeowner even calls their insurance company, leading to a higher close rate on insurance-funded repairs.

Plumbing Companies Finding Emergency Sewer Line Work

A "sewage line backup" violation is a plumbing emergency. Plumbers subscribed to our service get alerts for these high-priority issues. They can immediately contact the property owner, who is facing daily fines and health hazards, positioning themselves as the urgent solution. This transforms a public record into a same-week service call and a significant invoice.

Electricians Targeting Safety-Hazard Violations

Violations for "exposed wiring" or "overloaded electrical panels" are serious safety mandates. Electricians can filter for all electrical violations in their area. By proactively contacting these homeowners, they present themselves as code-compliance experts, often landing whole-house panel upgrades and rewiring jobs that are not just repairs but essential safety overhauls.

General Contractors Building a Diversified Pipeline

A GC can use GetCodeViolations to see all violation types across their service area. This allows them to bid on a wide variety of work—from roofing and painting to structural issues. It provides a consistent, diversified flow of qualified leads, reducing dependency on any single trade or marketing channel and stabilizing business month-to-month.

How is this different from HomeAdvisor or Angi?

HomeAdvisor and Angi are lead marketplaces. When a homeowner posts a job, it gets sent to 5-10 competing contractors who all pay a high fee ($15-$80) for that same shared lead. GetCodeViolations provides exclusive leads sourced directly from public government data. The homeowner hasn't contacted anyone yet. You get the information first, for one flat monthly fee, with no competition on our platform.

Are the homeowner's name and phone number included?

On the current Pro plan, you receive the property address and full violation details. Owner name and phone number lookup is a feature of our upcoming Business plan. For now, contractors successfully reach homeowners by sending direct mail to the violation address or door-knocking, as the homeowner is already expecting contact regarding the mandated repair.

What if there are no violations in my city?

We are constantly adding new municipalities to our coverage, which already spans 130+ cities. We recommend starting your 7-day free trial to see the live volume of violations in your selected areas. The dashboard will show you real, active leads. If your primary city isn't covered yet, you can contact us to request it for future expansion.

How fresh are the leads?

Our database is updated daily. We scan city and county government databases every 24 hours to find new violations as soon as they are filed as public records. You can set up daily email notifications so you are alerted the same day a new, relevant violation appears in your selected areas, giving you the fastest possible advantage.

GetCodeViolations operates on a simple, transparent subscription model designed for contractor growth. We offer a flat-rate Pro plan for $49 per month. This plan includes unlimited leads, daily email notifications, filtering by trade, CSV export, and coverage for up to 3 geographic areas. This contrasts sharply with pay-per-lead services that can cost hundreds per month. All new users can start with a full 7-day free trial with no credit card required, allowing you to see the volume and quality of leads in your area before any commitment. You can cancel anytime.
