Terms
Toronto Building Permit Feed is a weekly email feed of new Toronto building-permit projects, sold by Dat Tran as an individual. One subscription, billed monthly through Stripe, cancel any time from your subscriber portal — cancelling stops future billing and you keep the files already delivered.
What you get
Each week, one CSV file: one row per new project, grouped from sibling permit folders, with the project key, address, ward/grid, application and issued dates, status, normalized category, permit/structure/work types, cleaned estimated cost (blank where the City did not state one — never $0), dwelling units created, builder name where present, and a cleaned description. The file is emailed to you and also available to re-download from your portal, including past weeks.
Data source and licence — please read
The underlying data comes from the City of Toronto Open Data dataset "Building Permits — Active Permits". The dataset was marked "Licence not specified" (not the standard Open Government Licence) when this product was built. Commercial redistribution of this data is NOT confirmed, and the owner is seeking confirmation from the City. This site does not claim any redistribution rights. If the City does not permit the current form of this product, the product shape may change (for example, to alerts pointing to public records) and subscribers will be told.
The feed adds grouping, cleaning, and timely delivery on top of the City's raw records; the underlying permit facts remain the City's data, credited on every record and on every page of this site.
Accuracy
Permit data is supplied by the City and refreshed daily. Costs, statuses, and descriptions are shown as the City states them, cleaned only as described on this site. Where the City does not state a cost, the feed shows it as blank, not $0. We do not guarantee that any project listed will proceed, or that the work described is still available.
Refunds
If a weekly file is not delivered, or is materially wrong, contact the owner and the affected period will be refunded or credited. Otherwise, subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and are not refundable for a partially used month after cancellation.
Changes
These terms may change; the current version is always the one on this page. The intro price, where offered, is time-limited and is stated at checkout — it ends automatically after the stated number of months and the standard price then applies.
