San Antonio Building Permits — October 2026
Every building permit issued by the City of San Antonio in October 2026: counts, permits by trade, and the month's most recent permits.
Source: City of San Antonio open data — building permits issued by the Development Services Department. Source last updated: October 18, 2026 · Our last pull: October 18, 2026 · Figures are as reported by the City of San Antonio.
Coverage: this report covers building permits issued by the City of San Antonio (Development Services Department). Other Bexar County municipalities publish their permits separately and are not in this feed, so totals here are San Antonio totals — labeled as such, never blended. Three facts about the city's register shape the figures. The register lists one row for every permit-type component an issuance covers, so we count each permit once, by its permit number. The register also issues non-construction permits — garage sales, tree affidavits, and temporary signs and banners — which authorize no construction and are not counted here (7,226 of the register's 71,761 permits in the last 12 months). And the city declares a project value on only about 1 in 40 permits — the commercial building core — and repeats a project's value across its permits, so this report publishes permit counts, not a dollar total that would describe only that slice.
Month to date: figures run through October 16, 2026, the latest date in the source data as of our October 18, 2026 pull.
