About Winnipeg Construction Data

Winnipeg 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, business licences, development permits, property assessments, and zoning for Winnipeg, available through the same API with the same parameters. BuildData collects and normalizes these records from Winnipeg’s open data portals on a daily-to-weekly cadence (by dataset), making 522k+ Winnipeg permits searchable through a single REST API.

30k+ building permits were issued in Winnipeg, MB over the past 12 months. Renovation permits lead by volume. Every record is geocoded and normalized to a consistent schema, so you can query Winnipeg the same way you query any other Canadian city in the dataset.

Winnipeg building permits: FAQ

How do I search Winnipeg building permits?

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

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

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

Are Winnipeg building permits public record?

Yes. Winnipeg 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.

How current is Winnipeg permit data?

BuildData refreshes Winnipeg permits automatically, so new permits show up within days and go out in the next scheduled feed.

Can I get new Winnipeg permits sent to me automatically?

Yes. A BuildData feed emails every new Winnipeg building permit as a spreadsheet each week, with the address, type, value, and date. Add any other cities you sell into. 30-day free trial.
