How to read this, and what it is not
This counts permits the City issued in July 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 July 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 3,285 permits is fewer than 3,285 projects.
70 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 2025, the City issued 3,091 permits covering 1,289 homes.
