How these numbers are made

Source: City of Prattville Building Permits (ArcGIS FeatureServer), read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued June 2020 through May 2022; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The city kept the permit status up to date only in 2018 and 2019, so most later permits still read Issued whether or not the work was finished, so no finished share is shown.

Building and trade permits the City of Prattville issued: residential and commercial building, electrical, plumbing, gas, mechanical, sign, fence and demolition permits. Millbrook, Autaugaville and unincorporated Autauga and Elmore counties are not in this file. Grading, stormwater, plat, temporary use and street-cut permits are left out.

  • The city's open permit layer is a static copy that stops with applications filed in June 2022 (it was last updated in 2024 with a few stragglers), so these pages end with May 2022, the last full month.
  • The file has no final inspection date and its status was not kept up after 2019, so we show no finished share and no time to final.
  • A declared value is filled on only about a quarter of permits, mostly new buildings, so we show no costs.
  • The file has no ZIP code, so there are no ZIP code pages for Prattville.
  • Electrical, plumbing, gas and mechanical permits for a new house are separate permits, so a new home also shows up under those trades. Gas permits are counted with plumbing.
  • Contractor names are the business named on the permit; owner-builders and personal names 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 →
