Is the Anaheim building department backed up?

Permit-filing volume is the best public proxy for permitting load: the more permits a building department takes in, the heavier its review queue. Anaheim, CA logged 229 permits in the last 7 days versus 192 the week before — a 19.3% increase, so intake is accelerating and review backlogs are likely growing. This tracker refreshes weekly from official municipal feeds, so it reflects the current pace rather than a stale snapshot.

"This week" means the trailing 7 days through 2026-07-31.
