Field notes
The site organizes municipal permit filings by project type and location, presenting local comparisons rather than a single national estimate. Its homepage covers 228,879 permits across 17 cities, with examples ranging from window replacement and water heaters to pools and foundation repairs. The stated limitation is important: a permit contains a declared value that may fall below the final invoice, while work done without a permit is absent from the dataset.
