Building permits methodology

Source

• New Jersey Department of Community Affairs: municipal construction permit and certificate reports.

Unit of record

One row per permit, dated by when the authority recorded it, placed by the locality it names.

Update cadence

Weekly. Each page shows the date its data last changed.

Company matching

Records are linked to a company on registration numbers, government identifiers, addresses and domains, never on a similar name alone. Records about individuals are not named on public pages.

Coverage

Known limits

Coverage depends on what each authority publishes and when. Some records cannot be linked to a company with confidence and are shown without one. Values are as declared by the filer.
