BuildData
Coverage by city
Building permits span 59 cities across 9 provinces: 55 active, plus 4 marked historical where the municipality stopped publishing new permits (the existing records remain queryable). We refresh daily, though each city publishes on its own cadence. Other datasets are added city by city as municipalities publish open data.
Which datasets exist where
Permits run everywhere we cover. The rest are added city by city as each municipality publishes them, so coverage is uneven on purpose.

We carry every municipality that publishes building permits as open data. If yours does and it is missing, tell us and we will add it. If it does not publish, nobody has that data, us included.
