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 We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.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.
