Terms of use

Plain-language terms for using Groundbreak. Last updated September 28, 2026.

What Groundbreak is

Groundbreak organizes public records about new-home construction in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton and Delray Beach: permits, construction documents and inspections, parcel records and recorded sales. It is information, not advice. Estimates, including completion windows and comparisons, are our calculations and can be wrong. Check anything that matters to a decision against the original records, which we link wherever we can.

Personal use

You may browse, search, follow homes and share links to pages. You may not copy, scrape, crawl, harvest or systematically download the site’s content or data, by robot or by hand, or use it to build or feed a competing product or dataset, without our written permission. Automated access to anything under /api/ is not allowed except with a key we issue.

Our content

The selection, arrangement, analysis, writing, design and photography on Groundbreak belong to us or to the people who license them to us. Public records themselves stay public; our compilation of them does not become public by being published here. Builder-supplied photos and materials remain their owners’.

Accuracy and corrections

Public records contain errors, and so can our reading of them. If you see one, tell us. Nothing on Groundbreak is a representation by any builder, seller or city government.

No offer

Nothing here is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy real estate. Where listings appear, they are provided through the multiple listing service and are subject to its rules and disclaimers.

Liability

Groundbreak is provided as is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for decisions made using it.
