One Year, Four Metros: What 221,175 Building Permits Reveal About Construction Demand

A trailing year of building permits across Austin, San Antonio, Colorado Springs and Sacramento — 221,175 records. What the data shows about HVAC, roofing, solar and EV demand, and why some metros can answer questions others can't.

One row per permit

City and county records overlap constantly, and the same job often appears twice under two different numbering schemes. We reconcile them before you get the file, so your counts are counts — not duplicates.

History you can't re-pull

Permit portals get replaced and their history disappears with them. Our Reno–Sparks file runs 1991–2016 and cannot be retrieved from the source at any price — we hold it because we captured it in time. Every metro we carry deepens the same way.

Yours to use

Buy once, no subscription, no cap on what you build with it. Business and parcel-level fields only, so there's no consumer PII to handle. Independent compilation — not an official record; verify with the issuing jurisdiction for decisions of record.
