Building permits

The monthly Building Permits Survey gathers information on the value of building permits issued by Canadian municipalities for both homes and other types of buildings. It also tracks how many new homes are approved and how many have been demolished.

The Building Permits Dashboard is a handy tool that lets you explore this data in a way that works for you. You can look at a specific month or over a longer period, and choose whether to see data that has been adjusted for seasonal trends or not. The dashboard makes it easy to compare building permit stats by different locations and building types from one month to the next.
