How Sioux Falls compares with other cities

From our cross-city data studies: the same measure, read the same way, for every city we cover.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Sioux Falls GIS: Building Permits (Data/Community MapServer layer 3), read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.

Residential and commercial building permits the City of Sioux Falls issues inside city limits, in both Minnehaha and Lincoln counties: new homes and buildings, additions, remodels and repairs, re-shingling, decks, pools, demolition, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits. Brandon, Harrisburg, Tea and the unincorporated parts of both counties run their own permit offices and are not in this file.

  • The city's file has a contractor column, but it is empty on every row, so there are no contractor lists, rankings or firm pages for Sioux Falls.
  • A final date is the city's finalized date; a permit marked finaled counts as finished.
  • The value is the valuation declared on the permit.
  • Homes are the city's residential building permits, which include electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits for homes. Commercial remodels, additions and build-outs count as other.
  • Mechanical permits for fireplaces and refrigeration count as HVAC; re-shingle permits count as roofing; decks count with garages, sheds and shade structures.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
