# Chicago Building Permits Data: New Permits Issued Weekly

Chicago building permits data: permit type, work description, reported cost, fees, address, ward and coordinates for permits issued, updated every week.

## About this dataset

Building permits issued by the City of Chicago Department of Buildings, collected through data extraction from the City's open data portal and refreshed every week. Each row is one issued permit: its number, type and review track, the work described on the application, the application and issue dates, the street address with ward, community area and coordinates, the reported cost of the work and the fees charged.

The data is built for teams whose work follows construction activity: contractors and trade suppliers looking for new jobs, solar, roofing and electrical sales teams, real-estate and development analysts tracking what is being built where, and lenders or insurers watching renovation work. The first collection holds 1,208 permits issued between 19 October and 1 November 2026 across all 50 wards; about 600 new permits are added each week.

Need the same weekly feed for another city, or only your wards, work types or projects above a cost threshold? Ask Jason to build your own version.

## What you can use it for

- Build a weekly lead list of new jobs by work type (reroofing, electrical work, small-scale solar PV, masonry, new construction) and reported cost.
- Track construction and renovation activity by ward or community area.
- Watch new construction and demolition permits to see where development is happening.
- Compare processing times (application to issue) across permit types and review tracks.
- Match permit addresses against your own account or property lists to spot active work.

## Coverage

City of Chicago: all 50 wards and 77 community areas. Permits issued from 19 October 2026 onwards; new permits are added every Thursday. First collection: 1,208 permits issued 19 October to 1 November 2026. About two thirds are Express Permit Program permits (electrical, masonry, reroofing, solar PV, fences, garages); the rest are renovation and alteration, new construction, elevator, sign and demolition permits. Around 2,000 to 3,200 permits are issued in Chicago each month.

## Limitations

- Names are left out: the City's records list owners, contractors, architects, expediters and applicants, often as individuals, so no contact fields are included and the data can't be filtered by contractor.
- Two permits whose work descriptions contained personal information were left out of the first collection.
- Reported cost is the amount stated by the applicant and is empty for about 15% of permits (for example many fire alarm and administrative permits).
- Ward, community area and coordinates are missing for about 1% of permits.
- Each weekly run adds newly issued permits; later status changes to permits already collected are not updated.
- The City's portal can lag permit issuance by a day or more.
- This site provides applications using data that has been modified for use from its original source, www.cityofchicago.org, the official website of the City of Chicago.
