Building permits: Interactive Dashboard

The monthly Building Permits Survey collects data on the value of building permits issued by Canadian municipalities for both residential and non-residential buildings, and the number of residential dwellings authorized. The survey also measures the number of dwelling units demolished.

Building permits dashboard allows users to examine data for a specific month as well as a period of time. Users have options to select seasonally or non-seasonally adjusted data to be visualized. This tool compares month-to-month changes of building permits statistics by different geographic areas and building types. Interactive views such as a map of Canada, bar charts, a data table and a cross report chart are available.

This visualization tool contains only a portion of the data under building permits program. The sum of seasonally adjusted data may not add up to the total due to rounding. Additional information is available at table 34-10-0285-01 as well as in Housing Statistics.
