How to read this, and what it is not
This counts permits the City issued in April 2026, 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 April 2026 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 2,800 permits is fewer than 2,800 projects.
49 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 April 2025, the City issued 2,984 permits covering 1,984 homes.
