Questions
Where does the list come from? Is it official?
From Boston's own permit records on its open data portal (data.boston.gov), pulled Oct 27, 2026. Repeat filings of the same job are merged and individual people's names are left out. It is not an official record: check with the city before relying on any row.
How fresh is it?
Each list covers 7 full days of permits, pulled 2 days after the last one because cities post permits late. This one: issued Oct 19 to 25, 2026, pulled Oct 27, 2026.
What is in each row?
Each row: job address, what is being built, job size (value where the city gives it), dates, permit status, and the builder or owner business.
What arrives each week?
The free list is the 25 biggest permits. The weekly list is all 783 permits the city issued that week, sent every week.
Can I cancel?
Month to month. Cancel any time. First month not useful to you? We refund it in full. Terms.
What is not included?
No email addresses, no owner names, no search and no alerts. Only Boston's own permit records, not the suburbs.
Why not download the city's file myself?
You can. It lists every filing as its own row. This list merges repeat filings of the same job, keeps the columns that matter and sorts the jobs by size.
This week in Boston
I pulled 783 building permits from Boston's city records for Oct 19 to 25, 2026, with the data retrieved on Oct 27, 2026. The free sample contains 25 selected jobs, with repeat filings of the same job merged. It is a sample, not the full city permit file. The dated issue window above is the week this page covers.
How suppliers use Boston permit data
I organize Boston permit data so a supplier or subcontractor can review the recorded work and job address before deciding whether a project fits their trade. Start with the scope of work, then compare the listed size where the city provides it. Check the original city record before relying on a row. I leave out individual people's names; business details appear only where the source provides them. A permit does not mean a builder needs another supplier, has an open bid, or wants a sales call. This list covers the city source named below, not surrounding towns. Use the free sample to check whether those records fit your work before paying for a recurring list. I keep the issue dates visible so older records stay identifiable.
