Source: City of Nashua GIS, Building_Permits_for_AGOL map service (NashIMS building permits, last three years) and the Building_Permits_June_2025 snapshot layer, read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The file carries no usable permit status, so it can't say which permits were finished, so no finished share is shown.
Building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits the City of Nashua Building Safety Department issues inside the city. The city publishes only the last three years of permits as map layers; older permits are not public in bulk.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
