54 Permits, $8,100 Median: ZIP 91307 — June 2026

A ZIP code can be busy and modest at the same time. That is the story of 91307, the west San Fernando Valley pocket around West Hills, during the May 11 – June 9, 2026 reporting window. The volume reads like an active neighborhood. The dollar figure behind the typical job reads like a weekend project. Both are true, and the gap between them is the most useful thing on this page.

Every number here is a slice of the same sealed Los Angeles permit snapshot — a ZIP-level cut of the citywide record, not a separate dataset. The scope is residential building permits (single-family and small multi-family); commercial and sub-trade permits are excluded at ingest. This is not a count of all construction permits issued in each city. We make no trend claims: this is one 30-day window, described as it stands.

The Volume-Versus-Size Tension in One Line

The fastest way to read 91307 is to hold its two headline numbers next to each other and the citywide median in the same view.

ZIP 91307 recorded 54 residential building permits worth $1.5M, at a median permit valuation of $8,100, in the 30 days ending June 9, 2026 — per our sealed permit snapshots.

The median is the anchor. At $8,100, the typical 91307 permit is squarely small-job territory — a re-roof, a panel upgrade, a bathroom redo, a wall removed between a kitchen and a living room. That figure sits close to the citywide median of $7,000, which tells you 91307 is not an outlier neighborhood. It is an ordinary, steadily-improving residential ZIP doing ordinary residential work, just enough of it to register 54 separate filings in a single month.

Key Findings

• ZIP 91307 logged 54 residential permits in 30 days, per US Tech Automations' sealed permit snapshots from Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety via data.lacity.org (Socrata).

• The median permit valuation in 91307 was $8,100, a hair above the citywide median of $7,000.

• Total reported valuation in the ZIP came to $1.5M across the window.

• 43 of the ZIP's permits fell under one category — Alteration & Repair on one- or two-family dwellings.

• Citywide, Los Angeles posted 4,042 residential permits worth $201.2M, the snapshot 91307 is carved from.

ZIP 91307 Permit Activity, May 11 – June 9, 2026

The ZIP-level slice carries a count, a total, and a median. There is no separate valuation-coverage figure at the ZIP cut — coverage is a property of the citywide snapshot — so we report what the slice actually holds and nothing more.

A median of $8,100 against a total of $1.5M describes a distribution with almost no top end. A modest count of jobs and a modest sum of declared value together mean the average ticket is small and the spread is narrow — there is no single mega-project dragging the total upward here. Compare that to the citywide picture, where a maximum permit valuation of $4,000,000 and a median of $7,000 sit in the same series: Los Angeles as a whole contains a few very large jobs. 91307, in this window, did not.

That matters for anyone trying to read demand. A neighborhood with a low median and a thin total is a maintenance-and-improvement market, not a teardown-and-rebuild one. The homeowners filing here are upgrading what they own.

What Is Getting Built in 91307

The category mix is lopsided, and that is the depth of the story.

Of 91307's 54 permits, 43 carry the label "Bldg-Alter/Repair / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling" — the source category we map to the friendly name Alteration & Repair. That single bucket accounts for the overwhelming share of activity in the ZIP.

So what is an Alteration & Repair permit on a one- or two-family dwelling, in plain terms? In Los Angeles, this is the permit a homeowner or general contractor pulls to change something inside or on an existing house without adding new square footage. It is the workhorse category of residential permitting. It covers: re-roofing, re-piping and re-wiring, kitchen and bathroom remodels, replacing windows, removing or relocating non-bearing walls, foundation repair, seismic retrofits, water-heater and HVAC swaps that require sign-off, and the long tail of "we are fixing or modernizing the house we already live in."

Crucially, Alteration & Repair is not new construction and not an addition — those are separate categories citywide (Los Angeles tracks "Bldg-New / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling" and "Bldg-Addition / 1 or 2 Family Dwelling" as their own buckets). The fact that 91307's work concentrates in Alteration & Repair, rather than new builds or additions, reinforces the median: this is a built-out neighborhood where the housing stock already exists and the money goes into keeping it current.

For the trades, that concentration is a targeting signal. A roofer, an electrician, a remodeler, or a plumber working the west Valley can read 43 Alteration & Repair filings in a single ZIP in one month as a live map of houses that are mid-project right now — owners who have already decided to spend, already pulled paperwork, and may need the next trade in the sequence.

How 91307 Compares Inside Los Angeles

91307's 54 permits are real activity, but they are not the busiest corner of the city. The same sealed snapshot ranks several ZIPs ahead of it on raw volume. Lining them up shows where 91307 sits — and, more importantly, how differently neighborhoods inside one metro can behave.

At 54 permits, 91307 trails the city's busiest ZIP, 90272, which logged 388 permits worth $66.2M in the same window — a reminder that one metro contains very different neighborhoods.

The contrast with 90272 is the instructive one. That ZIP shows 388 permits and $66.2M in valuation — a high count and a high total, the signature of an affluent, high-teardown area where individual jobs are large. 91307 shows neither extreme: 54 permits and $1.5M, the signature of a steady remodel market. Notice too that 91364, a near-neighbor, also reports $1.5M of total valuation — small-job ZIPs cluster, and 91307 sits firmly in that cluster rather than with the 90272-style high-value pockets.

This is why a single citywide average misleads. The Los Angeles median of $7,000 is built from both kinds of ZIP at once. Reading 91307 on its own terms — close to that median, low total, one dominant category — gives a contractor or supplier a far sharper picture than the metro headline of 4,042 permits ever could.

Methodology

These figures come from Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety via data.lacity.org (Socrata). All figures are computed directly from US Tech Automations' sealed daily permit snapshots; nothing is estimated, modeled, or extrapolated.

A building permit is a public record showing that a property owner received municipal authorization to do a specific piece of construction. A sealed snapshot is a point-in-time capture of those public records, hashed and stored before any analysis runs, so the inputs to every figure on this page can be reproduced later. The 91307 numbers are a ZIP-level filter applied to the citywide snapshot — the same rows, narrowed to one postal area — which is why they share the metro's window and its scope rules.

The pipeline runs as follows:

1. Collect. Pull the day's published residential permit rows from the Socrata endpoint for Los Angeles, within the residential scope (single-family and small multi-family only).

2. Normalize. Standardize categories, valuations, and ZIP fields into one schema so a permit means the same thing on every day of the window.

3. Seal daily. Hash each day's capture and store it append-only, so no figure can be quietly revised after the fact.

4. Aggregate. Filter the sealed citywide rows to ZIP 91307 and compute counts, totals, and the median across the May 11 – June 9, 2026 window.

For the citywide context cited here, Los Angeles reported 4,042 permits, 3,779 of them carrying a stated valuation — a coverage rate of 93.5% — with a total of $201,163,491. We surface ZIP-level cuts only for the fields the slice genuinely supports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does 54 permits mean only 54 construction projects happened in 91307?
A: No. The 54 figure counts residential building permits — single-family and small multi-family — captured in the sealed snapshot. Commercial and sub-trade permits are excluded at ingest, so the real count of all construction activity in the ZIP is higher.

Q: Why is the median in 91307 only $8,100?
A: Because most of the work is small. At a median of $8,100, the typical filing is a re-roof, a remodel, or a system replacement rather than a new house. The total of $1.5M across 54 permits confirms a distribution with no large top end in this window.

Q: What does the dominant category, Alteration & Repair, actually cover?
A: On a one- or two-family dwelling it covers changes to an existing home without new square footage — re-roofing, re-wiring, re-piping, kitchen and bath remodels, window swaps, retrofits. 43 of the ZIP's 54 permits fall in this bucket.

Q: How does 91307 compare to busier Los Angeles ZIPs?
A: It trails them on volume. ZIP 90272 logged 388 permits worth $66.2M in the same window, a high-value market. 91307, with 54 permits and $1.5M, is a steady remodel area closer to the citywide median of $7,000.

Q: Who pulls these permits?
A: Homeowners and the general contractors working for them. Because the activity concentrates in Alteration & Repair, the names behind these filings are people improving houses they already own — not developers building new stock.

Put Permit Data to Work

A ZIP like 91307 is most valuable to the people who can act on it before anyone else notices. 43 Alteration & Repair filings in a single month is a queue of houses mid-project — and a queue is a workflow.

Contractors use a slice like this to qualify a farm area: a roofer or electrician reads the dominant category and knows there is real, paperwork-confirmed demand in the west Valley right now. Suppliers time inventory against where the small-job volume sits. Lenders and agents read renovation intensity as a pre-listing signal — owners investing in a home are owners thinking about its value. The raw permit feed is public at permits.ustechautomations.com; the work is turning it into something that reaches the right door on time.

That is what US Tech Automations builds. We take sealed permit signals like 91307's and wire them into automated workflows — monitoring new filings as they post, routing the right leads to the right trade, and drafting first-touch outreach so a contractor is not retyping the same message 43 times. The discipline is the same one behind these reports: data you can verify, then act on. To see how that runs for a neighborhood like this one, explore our real-estate AI agents.
