Source directory and searchable member records are different. This directory links official public sources. Our collected records, full search and downloads require a paid membership; one example is available publicly. Each source covers its named jurisdiction; it does not cover the whole state. Some sources require manual search, and some publish older reports. See the U.S. records already connected to member search.

Live official Socrata metadata and individual records verified; rows updated October 8, 2026. Includes Neighborhoods, City Planning, Public Works, Parks and Water departments. Fields permit_number, application/issue/expiration/finaled dates, permit_type, work_class, permit_status, project, valuation, address and parcel. No contractor/owner contact columns in this feed. This current dataset supersedes the stale ntw8-aacc CPD feed (newest May 9, 2025). Source has erroneous future issue dates (years 3036 and 2090 observed), so ingestion must exclude dates beyond the current day. Latest valid issue_date verified 2026-10-07 after bounding dates between July 1 and October 10, 2026. Kansas City only.
Source checked 2026-10-09 · Coverage limited to the named jurisdiction
64 checked source entries. This is a growing directory, not an exhaustive list of every U.S. permit authority. Public access, available fields and reporting periods vary. A source may require its own account or search steps. A public record does not confirm available work or permission to send marketing.
