Each permit counted at its property's ZIP code, October 2023 through September 2026, for the 9 kinds of home work we track. All 2 ZIP codes with 100 or more permits; each opens permits by trade and the most active contractors there.
Source: City of Citrus Heights building permits on homes (the city's issued-permits layer). The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.
A filed value is what the contractor wrote on the permit when they applied. It is not a quote and not the final bill.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits, and one permit can cover several visits. 75.5% of the 1,465 firms on the file match an active license at the California CSLB license master file, matched by business name because the city's permits record no license number; the match goes by name and can miss one.
