Who published the data on this page

  • Every permit on this page was published by the City of Chicago on dataset ydr8-5enu. We assembled a copy. The permits and the wording inside the rows are theirs.
  • This site provides applications using data that has been modified for use from its original source, www.cityofchicago.org, the official website of the City of Chicago.  The City of Chicago makes no claims as to the content, accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any of the data provided at this site.  The data provided at this site is subject to change at any time.  It is understood that the data provided at this site is being used at one’s own risk.

What this page cannot tell you

  • This is 1,000 published rows we pulled on 25 Aug 2026, not the city's all-time file. A row we did not pull is not in the file you buy.
  • Person-name and contact columns are stripped from every file we sell. The portal still has them. We will not put them in a paid file.
  • A blank cell means the city left it blank. We do not fill it in.
  • The City of Chicago's required notice is printed on this page and travels with the file, character for character. We do not paraphrase it.

See the file before you pay

You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 41 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.

  • Open the 25 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
  • The same 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.

What arrives after you pay: a person emails you what you asked for as a CSV — the same plain spreadsheet as the sample file above, not a login and not a web page — within one working day of your payment.

What you would be paying for: $349 once, for the assembled CSV of this slice. There is nothing to cancel and no subscription behind it.

These 25 rows are a slice of the file, not the whole of it. What we cannot show you here is how far back it goes: that is the part you are paying for.
