Newest sealed read: 2026-08-24. This is a one-time snapshot of Austin, Texas's published board, not a feed we re-read for you. We hold 1 sealed run going back to 1921-09-20. Collection has paused. We last read this source 42 days ago, and we read it every day, so no number on this page moves until collection starts again.

Real rows out of our sealed copies

Who published the data on this page
- Every permit in this file was published by Austin, Texas, not by us. Source table: Issued Construction Permits.
- Some of the permits here were published by the City of Austin, Texas. Austin puts this data in the public domain and asks — asks, not requires — that proper credit be given. So, plainly: this page uses material published by City of Austin, Texas - data.austintexas.gov.
- This dataset's own metadata names the licence Public Domain U.S. Government. It does not note a restriction that would take the rows out of the public domain.
What this page cannot tell you
- The city portal stays free. The file would be one assembled CSV, not a new source.
- 15 person-name or contact columns are in the city's table and are left out of the file: Contractor Trade, Contractor Company Name, Contractor Full Name, Contractor Phone, Contractor Address 1, Contractor Address 2, Contractor City, Contractor Zip, Applicant Full Name, Applicant Organization, Applicant Phone, Applicant Address 1, Applicant Address 2, Applicant City, Applicant Zip.
- The file carries permits, not people. The assembler drops owner, applicant, contractor-name, phone and email columns even when the city publishes them.
- This is a snapshot. We do not send a new copy next month.
See the file we hold
You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 7 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.
Nothing on this page is for sale. The sample file is free to read, and so is every row on the page above 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: the file goes back further than these rows do.
