Is the Baton Rouge 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. Baton Rouge, LA logged 158 permits in the last 7 days versus 199 the week before — a 20.6% decrease, so intake is easing. 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 2026-08-03.
