Source: Open Data BR, EBR Building Permits (7fq7-8j7r), read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The city-parish's public file has no permit status and no final inspection or completion date, so no finished share is shown.
Construction permits the consolidated City of Baton Rouge / Parish of East Baton Rouge issues: the City of Baton Rouge and the parish's unincorporated areas. Occupancy permits, short-term rental registrations, complaints and land clearing permits in the same file are not counted.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
