Why PermitPulse

The city publishes the data. We make it readable.

Toronto's active-permits dataset is a raw table with dozens of columns and cryptic status codes. PermitPulse turns its 206,800 mappable permit records — every row with a usable address and ward — into clean ward-by-ward pages you can actually scan.

🗺️

One page per ward

Every ward's most recent applications on a single page — address, permit type, plain-English description, status and estimated cost where the filing discloses it — with totals covering every active record in the ward.

🔎

Status, decoded

"Application Acceptable", "Not Started – Express", "Pending Parent Folder Review" — we surface the raw city status on every record so you can see exactly where a permit sits in review.

📅
