BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Edmonton’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 242k+ Edmonton permits searchable through a single REST API.

15k+ building permits were issued in Edmonton, AB over the past 12 months, representing $4.5B in declared construction value. Renovation permits lead by volume. Every record is geocoded and normalized to a consistent schema, so you can query Edmonton the same way you query any other Canadian city in the dataset.
