Coverage: this report covers construction permits issued by the City of Austin. The city's permitting jurisdiction reaches beyond the city limits — including its extraterritorial jurisdiction and a few neighboring communities that use Austin's permitting — so totals here are City of Austin feed totals for the Travis County report, labeled as such, never blended with other jurisdictions' records. County-wide coverage is not implied.
Month to date: figures run through October 16, 2026, the latest date in the source data as of our October 17, 2026 pull.
