How to read a building permit

  1. 1

    Filed and in review

    The builder sends plans and the county or city checks them. Nothing is built yet.

  2. 2

    Issued

    The work can start. The permit number goes on the job site and the inspections begin.

  3. 3

    Inspections

    Foundation, framing, rough-ins, insulation, drywall. Each passed inspection tells you where the house is - and which trade is next.

  4. 4

    Final

    The house passes its final inspection and gets its certificate. It is finished, and it leaves these counts.

Where these numbers come from

Build Radar reads the public permit records of each county and city - the permits, their status and their inspections - and puts every new building on one map. These counts were made on Oct 21, 2026.

Each number is rounded down to the nearest 10, and a number under 10 is not shown. Finished houses, cancelled or expired permits and permits a year old with no recent inspection are not counted. Each dot on the map is moved to its own spot inside a square about 450 m across, so no dot sits on a house.

Inside the app each project shows its build stage, the builder, the plans when the county posts them and the phone numbers on file.
