BuildData also tracks contractor profiles, business licences, development permits, property assessments, major projects, and zoning for Edmonton, available through the same API with the same parameters. BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Edmonton’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 245k+ Edmonton permits searchable through a single REST API.

Edmonton building permits: FAQ

How do I search Edmonton building permits?

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

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

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

Are Edmonton building permits public record?

Yes. Edmonton 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.
