The 15 busiest of Toronto’s 158 neighbourhoods this month. Permit count and new homes are different questions: Yonge-Bay Corridor led on permits, while Junction-Wallace Emerson added the most homes at 36. A permit without a dwelling unit is usually a renovation, a mechanical system or a sign.

How to read this, and what it is not
This counts permits the City issued in July 2025, not permits applied for. An issued permit is a decision that has happened, which is what makes the month a real unit. A permit applied for in July 2025 may not be issued for months and will appear in that month instead. Permit counts are not construction: a single build often takes separate building, plumbing, HVAC and drain permits, so 3,091 permits is fewer than 3,091 projects.
47 of this month’s permits were for laneway or garden suites — see the running count. Figures are rebuilt daily from the City’s open data and can revise as the City updates its own records, so a month keeps settling for a while after it ends. Nothing here is hand-entered. Full sources and caveats: method. A year earlier, in July 2024, the City issued 2,743 permits covering 202 homes.
