How these numbers are made

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 We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.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

The file has no permit status and no final inspection or completion date, so we show neither a finished share nor time to final.
The value is the project value written on the permit, not the final cost of the job. Demolition permits carry no value.
The file names a contractor on about three in four of the permits counted here: nine in ten new home, roofing and pool permits, about half of plumbing, gas, fence and demolition permits.
A new house gets separate building, electrical, plumbing, gas and mechanical permits, so one project can count several times, once under each kind of work.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
