Looking up a specific address in 45217

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Cincinnati building permits (residential, Residential Code of Ohio). The window is October 2023 through September 2026. Each permit is placed by its property's ZIP code (the address on the permit, or the parcel's when the permit has none).

Counted: permits on homes for the 9 kinds of work we track (plumbing, HVAC, remodel & alteration, structural repair, new home, addition, demolition, retaining wall, garage & shed) where the record names a contractor. Not counted: commercial work, trades we don't read, and permits with no contractor (owner-pulled work). So this is not the city's count of every permit in 45217.

A ZIP code does not follow city or county lines; these count only permits in the City of Cincinnati. Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits.
