Last updated: March 11, 2024

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

All products and plans

Contact properties store information about your contacts, such as their email address, or the last time they filled out a form. HubSpot creates default properties in each account to store key information. Some of those properties, such as the lifecycle stage properties, are automatically populated by HubSpot.

Some default contact properties cannot be edited. Instead of editing a default property, you can create custom contact properties.

Learn more about:

To view your contact properties:

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the main navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Properties.
  • Click the first Filter by dropdown menu and select Contact properties. This will filter the properties by the contact object. Your default contact properties should be in this list.

Please note: the properties and property groups in your account may differ from the complete list below. This will depend on if you have access to the Marketing HubSales Hub, or Service Hub platforms and/or when your HubSpot account was created.

Contact Information

  • Annual revenue: annual company revenue.

  • Business units: the business units the contact is assigned to.
  • Buying role: the role that the contact plays during the sales process. You can select more than one role. The property value plays a part in HubSpot's account-based marketing features.
