Cincinnati Building Permits — October 2026
Every building permit issued by the City of Cincinnati in October 2026: counts, reported value, permits by trade, and the month's biggest projects.
Source: City of Cincinnati open data — building permits from the Buildings & Inspections Department. Source last updated: October 18, 2026 · Our last pull: October 18, 2026 · Figures are as reported by the City of Cincinnati.
Coverage: this report covers building permits issued by the City of Cincinnati (Buildings & Inspections Department). Other Hamilton County jurisdictions publish their permits separately and are not in this feed, so totals here are Cincinnati totals — labeled as such, never blended. Two facts about the city's data shape the counts. The dataset lists one row for every work component a permit covers, so we count each permit once and add its components' stated costs together for its value. And the dataset carries no electrical permits at all, so no electrical figures appear in this report.
Month to date: figures run through October 16, 2026, the latest date in the source data as of our October 18, 2026 pull.
