Source: Dallas OpenData, Building Permits (Socrata e7gq-4sah, January 2018 to present, updated daily), read 26 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The city's open permit file has no permit status and no final inspection date, so no finished share is shown.
Building and trade permits the City of Dallas issued inside the city limits: building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, roofing, solar, pool, accessory-structure, foundation-repair and demolition permits. Suburbs such as Irving, Garland, Mesquite, Richardson and Plano, and unincorporated Dallas County, run their own permit offices and are not in this file. Drive approach and sidewalk permits are left out.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
