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 Islington added the most homes at 28. 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 June 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 June 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 3,258 permits is fewer than 3,258 projects.
54 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 June 2025, the City issued 3,095 permits covering 312 homes.
