The permits library

What is in itCounted off the live index on 22 Aug 2026

• 12 Phoenix-metro citiesEach with its own page of jurisdiction rules.
• 4 rebate programsWhat they pay and who can claim them.
• 6 permit packet templatesReady to fill in and file.
• 85 working pages under /permitsCounted by opening every link on the index on 22 Aug 2026 and checking which ones actually load. One of them was broken that day and is not in the 85.
• A monthly permit reportResidential permit volume and reported valuation, built from official city open-data portals. Three editions published, each keeping its own permanent address.

All of it is free to read. There is no login and no paywall on any of it.

Why it sits next to the feeds

The permits library and these feeds are built the same way: we read a public source on a schedule and keep a dated copy of what it said. The library is the free, browsable side of that work — rules, programs and templates you can read today. The feeds are the paid side: the file that tells you what moved between two of our dated copies.
