Barrie building permits: FAQ

How do I search Barrie building permits?

Use the search box on this page: type an address, permit number, or contractor and it queries every Barrie permit BuildData holds. Records come from Barrie's own open data, geocoded and normalized.

How do I check the status of a building permit in Barrie?

Search the address above. Each result shows the permit's status, type, issue date, and description as published by Barrie. For an application still in progress, the city's own portal remains the authority.

Are Barrie building permits public record?

Yes. Barrie publishes building permit records as open data, so anyone can look them up. BuildData aggregates, geocodes, and normalizes them so they are searchable in one place instead of one city portal at a time.

How current is Barrie permit data?

BuildData refreshes Barrie permits automatically, so new permits show up within days and go out in the next scheduled feed.

Can I get new Barrie permits sent to me automatically?

Yes. A BuildData feed emails every new Barrie building permit as a spreadsheet each week, with the address, type, value, and date. Add any other cities you sell into. 30-day free trial.
