Construction, Demolition, and Pool Permits 2026
The data includes construction, demolition, and pool enclosure permits issued each month outlining address, ward, former municipality, postal code, dwelling unit counts, value and area of construction or demolition work, building type, permit issued date, and description of the work being completed.
Accuracy: In cases where the contractor is also the property owner, the City of Ottawa is unable to disclose this information due to MFIPPA, therefore the phrase *CONTRACTOR*\ is used. A summary including total number of permits issued, total value of construction and demolition work, as well as the increase and decrease in numbers of dwelling units is available on the last page of this monthly report. Since an individual permit may have several municipal addresses associated with it, this report contains the one-to-many relationships between a single permit and its multiple addresses (if exists). Hence, one may notice several records for the same permit number. Caution should be taken in summarizing the data for counts/sums to avoid duplication. In addition, some permit addresses may not have a postal code due to the postal code being unavailable at time of issuance.
Update Frequency: Monthly (20th of each Month)
