Permit statistics for other places in Columbus. Each permit office keeps its own file, so the numbers are not added together.
Source: Delaware County Regional Planning Commission, Building Permits from August 2025 to July 2026 (ArcGIS Online layer BP_1_Year_to_0926), read 21 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2025 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The county's planning extract records new-construction permits as they are issued and carries no permit status or final inspection date, so no finished share is shown.
New-construction permits Delaware County Code Compliance issues for the county's townships and villages (Liberty, Berlin, Orange, Sunbury, Galena, Berkshire, Concord, Genoa, Kingston and the rest): new one-, two- and three-family homes and new commercial buildings. Remodels, additions and trade permits are not in this file. The cities of Delaware, Powell, Dublin, Westerville and Columbus issue their own permits and are not in it.
