Building Permits Feed — Austin, TX

Get clean, structured building-permit data for Austin, Texas as JSON, CSV, or Excel — no scraping, no parsing government HTML, no dealing with clunky open-data portals. Give it a date range and get back ready-to-use permit records: address, permit type, valuation, contractor, status, and more.

Built for contractors, roofers, solar installers, real-estate investors, and researchers who want fresh permit activity as sales leads or data — without paying enterprise prices.

Why use it

  • Clean, consistent output. Every permit comes back in the same tidy schema, with the full raw source record attached so you can trust and audit the data.
  • Fresh leads. Filter by issue date to pull just-issued permits — the signal that a property owner is about to spend money.
  • Fair, usage-based pricing. Pay only per result you actually get. No subscriptions, no minimums.
  • Straight from the official source. Data comes directly from the City of Austin's open-data portal.

What you get

One record per permit: permit_id, issue_date, jurisdiction, address, latitude, longitude, permit_type, work_description, valuation, contractor_name, contractor_license, owner, status, source_url, raw.

Input

  • jurisdiction (required): austin-tx (more cities coming)
  • dateFrom / dateTo (required): date range, YYYY-MM-DD
  • permitType (optional): filter by permit class
  • minValuation (optional): only permits at/above this USD valuation
  • maxResults (optional): cap on records returned

How to use it

Set a date range, run the actor, then download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or pull them via the Apify API.

Good to know

  • Coverage: Austin, TX (more cities planned — follow for updates).
  • Valuation: Austin doesn't list a dollar valuation on every permit, so that field is often empty.
  • Source: City of Austin Open Data — "Issued Construction Permits."
