Source: City of Urbana, Community Development Permits Issued (State of Illinois open data mirror, dvw9-7wyx), read 23 Oct 2026. We count permits issued September 2024 through August 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. Since the city's 2019 change of permit system, most permits stay marked Issued long after the work is done, so no finished share is shown.
Building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, solar, accessory structure, demolition and sign permits the City of Urbana Community Development Services issues inside city limits. Certificates of occupancy in the same file are not counted. Champaign, Savoy and unincorporated Champaign County run their own permit offices and are not in this file.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
