About Victoria Construction Data

Victoria building permits cover all permitted construction activity in the city: new homes and condos, commercial and industrial builds, residential renovations, additions, demolitions, and changes of use. BuildData also tracks contractor profiles, planning applications, business licences, property assessments, and zoning for Victoria, available through the same API with the same parameters. BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Victoria’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 108k+ Victoria permits searchable through a single REST API.

2k+ building permits were issued in Victoria, BC over the past 12 months, representing $493M in declared construction value. Renovation permits lead by volume. Every record is geocoded and normalized to a consistent schema, so you can query Victoria the same way you query any other Canadian city in the dataset.
