Land clearing leads: demolition permits and overgrown-lot cases, quoted from satellite

For land clearing and forestry mulching contractors: the public records that point to a lot that needs clearing (demolition permits, overgrown-vegetation 311 cases), how many there are in four Austin ZIPs, and pricing a lot from the address.

A demolition permit means a cleared lot is coming. An overgrown-vegetation case means the city has noticed the lot. Both are dated public records, and both can be priced from satellite before you load the machine.

The records that point at a lot

  • Demolition permits issued in the last six months: the house comes down, and the lot needs clearing and grading for what goes up.
  • Overgrown-vegetation cases opened with Austin 311 in the last six months.

Every reason states the record and its date (“demolition permit, August 2026”), never a guess about the owner.

How many lots that is in Austin

Find customers lists, as of 7 October 2026, 112 homes with a land clearing reason across four ZIPs, every one of them from a demolition permit:

  • 78704 (South Austin · Zilker): 36 homes
  • 78745 (South Austin · Westgate): 27 homes
  • 78731 (Northwest Hills): 16 homes
  • 78757 (Allandale · Crestview): 33 homes

A small list, and a sharp one: each is a lot with a dated reason. At most two contractors see each home per month. Reveal it for the owner's mailing address and send a postcard; there are no phone numbers and no texting.
