Building Permits

CDRPC collects and visualizes building permit information which is obtained from the U.S. Census. It is important to note that building permit issuance counts are based on municipalities reporting to the Census Bureau. Municipalities that don’t report their issuance may appear to have fewer permits issued than have actually been issued.

Each category provides separate values for the number of buildings and the number of units. In this article, the number of permits refers to the total number of units for which a building permit was issued.
