BuildData also tracks contractor profiles, planning applications, business licences, and zoning for Toronto, available through the same API with the same parameters. BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Toronto’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 243k+ Toronto permits searchable through a single REST API.

32k+ building permits were issued in Toronto, ON over the past 12 months, representing $15.7B in declared construction value. Renovation permits lead by volume. Every record is geocoded and normalized to a consistent schema, so you can query Toronto the same way you query any other Canadian city in the dataset.
