About Detroit Building Permits

Detroit, Michigan processes building permits covering residential construction, commercial buildouts, renovations, and specialty trade work. PermitGrab tracks 11804+ Detroit building permits — newest permit date: 2026-09-25 from official city sources.

Each record can show the project address, scope, permit type, and value where the city publishes them. The source-published contractor records do not meet the coverage threshold for this city.
