About Saugeen Shores Building Permit Data

Saugeen Shores is a Lake Huron shoreline municipality in Bruce County, Ontario, comprising the communities of Port Elgin and Southampton. Its building permit records cover all permitted construction since 2018 — residential new builds, additions, finished basements, commercial projects, and more.

Each record includes permit number, type, address, builder, construction value, permit area, dwelling type, number of units, status, and both application and issued dates — one of the most detailed permit schemas in the dataset.
