Getting three real records for free was a fantastic start. The service is incredibly helpful for electrical contractors looking to follow renovation leads. I really like that the feed cuts to my specific trade and includes the odds of follow-on work.

Questions about Kova Signals
What is Kova Signals?
Kova Signals is a data service that reads public government records daily and delivers filtered data feeds to subscribers. It sources information from four datasets including Chicago building permits, FMCSA registration orders, Chicago business licences, and a city business-owner register. The platform processes these raw records to remove entries like transient event permits and links related data such as contractors to permits.
What does the enriched feed offer that the self-serve feed does not?
The enriched feed is cut specifically to the subscriber's trade, ensuring every record in the file is one they could bid on. This eliminates the need to scan irrelevant trades like plumbing rows to find sign jobs.
How does Kova Signals handle exclusive territory feeds?
The enriched feed is sold exclusively to one firm for a specific territory, meaning no other firm receives that same data. This exclusive territory tier is confirmed open by email before any money moves.
What is included in the self-serve feed and how much does it cost?
The self-serve feed costs $249 per month and provides every new Chicago building permit issued in the public record the next morning. Each row includes the address, scope, reported cost, and a direct link to the City's own record for verification.
What are the features and pricing of the enriched feed?
The enriched feed costs $750 per month and includes everything in the self-serve feed plus filtering to the subscriber's specific trade. It also adds the demolition and asbestos watchlist which runs two to four months ahead of the permit file.
What prepayment options are available for the self-serve feed?
Kova Signals offers a 9-for-12 prepay option where customers pay 9 months upfront for $2,241 to receive 12 months of service. This eliminates countdown timers and invented scarcity, with months 10–12 delivered at no additional cost.
What additional data does Kova Signals calculate and display on each permit record?
The platform measures and prints the follow-on odds for cross-trade records, showing the measured history out of how many cases and when they were measured. These odds are based on historical data and are not a guarantee of future results.
Where is Kova Signals located and what areas does it serve?

The methodology is clear. Data comes from public files. No personal contact details are used. I appreciate the transparency regarding the source datasets.
I was really impressed by how Kova Signals handles the raw government data. The fact that they separate temporary structures like tents from genuine structural permits adds a layer of accuracy that is crucial for us. It is great to see such attention to detail in filtering out the noise from the City’s filings. Knowing that every row includes a direct link to the source record gives me confidence to verify the information myself before bidding. This service seems designed for contractors who want reliable, uncluttered data delivered directly to their inbox without having to navigate complex portals themselves.
The daily email delivery fits my workflow perfectly. Having the City of Chicago building permits refreshed each morning at seven AM means I receive the data I need without logging into any dashboard. This convenience helps me stay informed on new construction records efficiently.
