Cochrane building permits cover all permitted construction activity in the city: new homes and condos, commercial and industrial builds, residential renovations, additions, demolitions, and changes of use. BuildData also tracks development permits for Cochrane, available through the same API with the same parameters. BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Cochrane’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 3k+ Cochrane permits searchable through a single REST API.
2k+ building permits were issued in Cochrane, AB over the past 12 months. New Construction permits lead by volume. Every record is geocoded and normalized to a consistent schema, so you can query Cochrane the same way you query any other Canadian city in the dataset.

Cochrane building permits: FAQ
How do I search Cochrane building permits?
Use the search box on this page: type an address, permit number, or contractor and it queries every Cochrane permit BuildData holds. Records come from Cochrane's own open data, geocoded and normalized.
How do I check the status of a building permit in Cochrane?
Search the address above. Each result shows the permit's status, type, issue date, and description as published by Cochrane. For an application still in progress, the city's own portal remains the authority.
Are Cochrane building permits public record?
Yes. Cochrane 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 Cochrane permit data?
BuildData refreshes Cochrane permits automatically, so new permits show up within days and go out in the next scheduled feed.
Can I get new Cochrane permits sent to me automatically?
Yes. A BuildData feed emails every new Cochrane 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.
