Why Canada Building Permits Scraper users pick this one

• Earlier than permits. Rezonings and site plans, not just issued building permits.
• Status-change alerts. New-or-changed mode with a Slack or webhook digest after every run.
• Licensed for business. Official open data under each city's licence; commercial use allowed.
• Filters that fit sales. Ward, application type, status and keyword.
• Below other permit scrapers. $3.00 per 1,000 records against $3.50-$5.00.

Get started in 3 steps

1. Pick the datasets (Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Kitchener, Montréal; development applications or building permits) and how many days back to look; the defaults return Toronto and Calgary applications from the last 60 days.
2. Optionally narrow it: application types (e.g. 'zoning', 'site plan'), statuses, wards and keywords; turn on 'Only new or changed since last run' for a weekly feed.
3. Click Start, then download JSON, CSV or Excel, or schedule the run and send results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n.

▶ Try it with the example input

The form opens with an example input already filled in: that run costs about $0.03 on the free plan.

How much does it cost to scrape Canadian building permits?

Pay per event: you pay only for what the run returns, plus a small start fee. Bronze, Silver, Gold and higher Apify plans pay less per result.

Applications	Free plan	Paid plans (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
100	$0.30	$0.21
1,000	$3.00	$2.10

One run of all 10 datasets, 30 days back, no cap and no filters: 9,494 records from the cities' live APIs. Toronto development applications returned none in that window because the city adds them about a month after submission, so its row comes from a separate 120-day run (85 records). Percentages are the share of records with a value; a dash means the dataset does not publish that field. Run times in Apify: Toronto and Calgary at 20 per city returned 40 records in 9 s, 7 datasets at 40 each over 10 days returned 239 in 26 s, and all 10 datasets over 365 days with a keyword matching nothing took 338 s, because every row in the window is read.

What data you get

Canada Building Permits Scraper turns 10 official open-data datasets from Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Kitchener and Montréal into one schema: Toronto development applications (rezoning, official plan, site plan, subdivision, condominium, part lot) and building permits, Calgary and Edmonton development and building permits, Winnipeg development permits, and Vancouver, Kitchener and Montréal issued building permits. Each record has the application number, type, category, address, postal code, ward, neighbourhood, coordinates, description, status, submitted, decision and issued dates, project value, builder or contractor company where published, and a link. Filter by dataset, days back, application type, status, ward and keyword. New-or-changed mode returns new applications and those whose status changed, such as Under Review to Approved.

• Application number, type (rezoning, site plan, subdivision, development or building permit) and category
• Street address(es), postal code, ward, neighbourhood, latitude/longitude
• Description of the proposal or work, current status
• Submitted, decision and issued dates (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Declared project value, permit category (Vancouver, Winnipeg), land-use district or zoning (Calgary, Edmonton), current and proposed use (Toronto building permits)
• Builder or contractor company (Toronto and Calgary building permits, Kitchener)
• City record link and a stable app_id for joins and dedupe

issuedWithinDays	daysBack	Maximum 365, and 0 means today only, not no limit. Ours filters on the submitted date for Toronto and Calgary development permits, the decision date for Edmonton development permits and the issue date elsewhere.
keywords	keywords	Ours matches the description and address. Put type words such as Demolition in applicationTypes instead.
workTypes	applicationTypes	Case-insensitive text match on the type or category, e.g. new, demolition, site plan.
minProjectValue	no equivalent	Filter the project_value column after the run; only some datasets publish a value (see Benchmarks).
onlyNewSinceLastRun	incremental	Ours also returns records whose status changed, e.g. Under Review to Approved.
maxResults	maxResultsPerCity	Ours caps each dataset, newest first; 0 = no limit.
includeRawRow	no equivalent	Every record has a url to its row in the city's open-data API instead.
no equivalent	wards, statuses	Filter by ward number or name and by status text.
no equivalent	slackWebhookUrl, webhookUrl	A digest of each run with the top 10 records and links.

• One schema for all 10 datasets: app_id (dataset:application number) for joins and dedupe, dates as YYYY-MM-DD, contractor_company only when it reads as a company.
• Calgary and Edmonton mean development permits here. Add calgary-building and edmonton-building to keep getting building permits from those cities.
• New-or-changed memory is kept per set of cities and filters, or per stateKey. Changing the filters starts a fresh feed, so the first run returns everything in the window again.
• Pricing is per record returned: $3.00 per 1,000 on the free plan and $2.10 on paid plans, against $5.00 on both.

Use with AI agents (Apify MCP server, Claude, ChatGPT, n8n AI agent)

Canada Building Permits Scraper is a ready-made tool for AI agents. Through the Apify MCP server an agent reads this Actor's input schema, fills in the input from your request, starts the run and reads the applications back. You pay the same per-result price as a run started by hand, from your own Apify account.

Example prompts

• "Find rezoning and site plan applications filed in Toronto in the last 90 days and list their addresses, wards and statuses"
• "Get building permits issued in Calgary and Edmonton in the last 7 days with the project value and contractor company, as a table"
• "Show tree-felling permits issued in Montréal in the last 30 days with their borough and address"

FAQ

Can I scrape Canadian building permits without login?

Yes. It never logs in, so you need no city portal account, password or cookies; only a free Apify account to run it.

Is there a Canadian building permits API?

You can use this Actor as one. Start it with Apify's REST API or the Python and JavaScript clients and read the results as JSON (see the code above), or call it from an AI agent through MCP.

How much does it cost to scrape Canadian building permits?

About $3.00 for 1,000 applications on Apify's free plan and $2.10 on paid plans, start fee included. The free $5 monthly credit covers about 1,600 applications.

Can I export Canadian building permits data to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Download the results as Excel, CSV, JSON, XML or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or send them to Google Sheets with Apify's Google Sheets integration or the API.

Is it legal to scrape Canadian building permits?

It reads only public data any logged-out visitor can see: the official open-data portals of Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Kitchener (each city's open government licence) and Montréal (CC BY 4.0). It goes at a polite pace, never logs in and never solves CAPTCHAs. It returns application and permit fields (address, type, status, dates, description, link); owner, applicant and contact names are dropped, and a builder or contractor is kept only as a company. To have a record removed, open an issue on this Actor's Issues tab; if a city formally asks us to stop, this Actor will stop. You are responsible for using the data lawfully, incl. anti-spam and privacy laws; this is not legal advice.

How do I find construction leads before permits are issued?

Use the development applications: rezonings and site plans are filed at the planning stage, before building permits. Filter by ward, type and status, and schedule the run with new-or-changed mode.

Which datasets does it read?

Toronto: Development Applications (OZ rezoning/official plan, SA site plan, SB subdivision, CD condominium, PL part lot) and Building Permits - Active Permits. Calgary: Development Permits and Building Permits. Edmonton: Development Permits and General Building Permits. Winnipeg: Detailed Development Permit Data. Vancouver: Issued building permits (no open development-applications dataset). Kitchener: Building Permits (ArcGIS). Montréal: Permis de construction, transformation et démolition (CKAN). Every record links to its open-data source.

How does 'new or changed since last run' work?

The Actor remembers each application with its status for the same cities and filters (or the state name you set). It returns applications it has not returned before and those whose status changed. Entries are forgotten 400 days after they were last seen.

Which date does 'days back' use?

The submitted date for Toronto (both datasets) and Calgary development permits, the decision date for Edmonton development permits (its only date) and the issue date for every other dataset.

How fresh is it?

Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver refresh daily, but Toronto development applications appear about a month after submission; Kitchener and Montréal refresh about weekly. In our checks the newest records were 0 to 2 days old for Edmonton and for Toronto and Calgary building permits, about 5 days for Winnipeg, about 6 for Kitchener and about 9 for Montréal. Look back at least 8 days if you rely on Kitchener or Montréal.

Why does Toronto return so few development applications?

Toronto's open data is genuinely thin, not cut short by this Actor: its Development Applications dataset holds about 25 to 40 planning applications a month (28 distinct in a recent 60 days, against 912 Calgary development permits) and adds them about a month after submission. Every page of the dataset is read. Add the Toronto building-permits dataset for volume (5,840 records in the same 60 days).

Can I add another city?

Not from the input: the Actor reads only these 10 datasets. Open an issue to ask for a city that publishes an open-licence dataset.

What is charged when a city returns nothing or fails?

One application-result per record saved. A dataset with no matching records adds nothing, so a run that finds nothing pays only the start fee. Each API call is tried 4 times; if a city still fails (HTTP 429, a server error or no connection), that dataset is skipped, the others are returned, and the status message names it. If every dataset fails, the run fails and no records are charged.

How do the type, status, ward and keyword filters match?

Types and statuses are case-insensitive text matches on the type or category and on the status, so 'issued' matches Issued and Issued Permit. Keywords match the description and the addresses. Wards match the ward number or name, e.g. 18 or Willowdale. A dataset without wards (Vancouver, Kitchener, Montréal and the Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton building permits) returns nothing when you set a ward filter.

How do the per-city cap and new-or-changed mode work together?

Filters run first, then the newest records per dataset up to Max results per city, then new-or-changed mode drops records already returned. With a small cap, a feed sees only the newest records each run, so use 0 (no limit) or a generous cap for a scheduled feed. Records not saved because the maximum charge was reached are not remembered, so they come back next run.

How long does a run take?

Seconds for a normal run: in our Apify test runs Toronto and Calgary at 20 per city took 9 s, 7 datasets over 10 days 26 s, and Montréal over 12 days 4 s. The slowest case is all 10 datasets over 365 days, about 6 minutes, because every row in the window is read before the filters apply.

Are there limits per run?

Up to 365 days back. Each dataset is read newest first up to 50,000 source rows per run, Vancouver up to about 10,000. In our tests 365 days of Montréal returned 20,034 records and 365 days of Vancouver 4,156, both under those caps. Max results per city goes up to 100,000.

What does app_id mean, and how are duplicates handled?

app_id is the dataset plus the city's application or permit number, e.g. calgary-building:BP2026-14894, and each app_id is returned once per run. Toronto development applications have one source row per address; they are merged into one record with all addresses in addresses. Toronto building permits give one record per permit revision, and Kitchener keeps the newest row per permit.

Why are some fields empty?

Each city publishes different fields, and the Actor never fills one in. Postal codes come only from Toronto; project values only from Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton building permits, Vancouver and Kitchener; contractor companies only from Toronto and Calgary building permits and Kitchener, and only when the name reads as a company. Toronto building permits have no coordinates, and in our 30-day test Winnipeg records had no description.

Can I get an alert after each run?

Yes. Paste a Slack webhook URL to post a short digest (how many records, and the top 10 with links), or any webhook URL to receive the same digest as JSON (actor, newOnly, count, items, runUrl, text) for Zapier, Make or n8n. Nothing is sent when the run saved nothing. With new-or-changed mode on, the digest covers only the new and changed records.

Lawful use

• Owner, applicant and planner names are dropped; a builder or contractor is kept only as a company.

Limits (stated honestly)

• Seven cities only. Toronto Committee of Adjustment, Mississauga and Ottawa are not covered (no current open dataset).
• Vancouver, Kitchener and Montréal are issued building permits, Winnipeg issued development permits, not applications; Edmonton development permits publish a decision date only. Toronto building permits include applications not yet issued (issued_date empty) and one record per permit revision.
• Toronto publishes fewer development applications in its open data than Calgary: about 28 distinct applications in 60 days (25 to 40 a month since mid-2025; Calgary development permits: 912 in 60 days), because the dataset holds only planning applications (rezoning, official plan, site plan, subdivision, condominium, part lot), not minor variances or permits. It is also added weeks after submission (about a month in our checks), so short look-backs can return nothing for Toronto. For Toronto volume, add the Toronto building-permits dataset (5,840 records in 60 days).
• Toronto coordinates are converted from the city's MTM grid and are accurate to about 20 m; Toronto links point to the city's Application Information Centre or, where missing, the open-data record.
• Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Kitchener and Montréal links point to the open-data record, not a city web page. Toronto building permits and Edmonton building permits have no ward; Toronto building permits have no coordinates.
• Look-back is capped at 365 days (Vancouver at about 10,000 permits per run).
• Kitchener lists permit revisions under the same permit number; the newest row per permit is returned.
• Free-text descriptions can mention businesses; personal emails and phone numbers are removed. Vancouver descriptions keep only the work scope: permit-desk notes that name professionals, contractors, applicants or staff are dropped, so a few Vancouver records have no description.
• Montréal records are in French as published (types, borough, description).
