About Delta Construction Data

Delta 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 business licences, major projects, and zoning for Delta, available through the same API with the same parameters. BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Delta’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 2k+ Delta permits searchable through a single REST API.

2k+ building permits were issued in Delta, BC over the past 12 months. Renovation permits lead by volume. Every record is geocoded and normalized to a consistent schema, so you can query Delta the same way you query any other Canadian city in the dataset.

Delta building permits: FAQ

How do I search Delta building permits?

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

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

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

Are Delta building permits public record?

Yes. Delta 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 Delta permit data?

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

Can I get new Delta permits sent to me automatically?

Yes. A BuildData feed emails every new Delta 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.
