New-mover and new-homeowner lists is the better fit when

You sell to every new household (dentists, restaurants, gyms) and do not care what the house is getting.

A permit list is the better fit when

You sell something a specific project triggers. A new-home permit is filed months before the house is finished, so you see the address well before a mover list can, and a pool or roof permit tells you what the owner is spending on.

What this data is, and how to use it. These are public-record building permits that counties publish, not opt-in leads: the homeowner did not ask to be contacted, and a permit is a signal, not a guaranteed customer. Market to them the way the law allows. Mail and in-person visits are the common channels where local rules permit. Calls and texts are covered by the TCPA, the National Do Not Call Registry, Florida's Telephone Solicitation Act (s. 501.059) and Florida's Do Not Call list. We do not sell phone numbers or owner names. Licensed professionals (insurance agents, inspectors) should also follow their license's advertising rules. This is not legal advice.

Questions

Should I stop using New-mover and new-homeowner lists?

Not necessarily. You sell to every new household (dentists, restaurants, gyms) and do not care what the house is getting. Many companies use both: a marketplace for people already shopping, and a permit list to reach the next projects first.

Is a permit list a lead?

It is a public record of a project, not a request for contact. That is why it costs less per address and why outreach must follow contact laws.
