Window: permits issued May 7–Oct 17, 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.

Newly issued new construction permits — this week's city batch

The city's latest weekly permit batch landed Tuesday, October 20 (permits issued Oct 11–Oct 17). It carries 97 new construction permits, $53.0M declared, of 1,321 new permits citywide. All of them, biggest first:
