Window: permits issued May 7–Oct 16, 2026. The city publishes permits in one weekly batch, on Tuesdays, covering permits issued through the previous Saturday, so "latest" is measured against the newest issue date we hold, not today. "Value" is the applicant's declared job valuation — a self-reported estimate, not an audited cost.
