Our Detroit data comes from the city's two official open-data permit layers — construction permits and trade permits, both published by the Buildings, Safety Engineering & Environmental Department — updated Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each record carries the permit type, issue date, and a full address with ZIP. Construction permits carry an estimated contractor cost but no contractor name; trade permits name the contractor but carry no project value.
Pro subscribers receive a digest every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after our system runs. You'll have the data the same day it's pulled.
