See pricing →Methodology: counts reflect building permits filed in our 60+ official municipal data feeds, all of which are sellable cities (active sources publishing within the last 14 days). Source-side reporting lag varies — some cities publish daily, some weekly. Future-dated source records (occasional data-entry errors in municipal portals) are excluded.
