Permits the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department (MABCD) issues for property inside the City of Wichita: building, roofing and siding, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and sewer, demolition (wrecking), manufactured-home, sign and fire-system permits. MABCD also issues permits for unincorporated Sedgwick County and several small cities (Maize, Goddard, Mulvane and others); those are in the same file but not counted here. Plan review applications, well permits and flood-plain permits are not counted.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
