Residential Permits Issued: Jan 1 2018 Through Feb 14 2022

Description: The City of Irving issues residential building permits as part of its regulatory process to ensure that all residential construction projects comply with local building codes, zoning laws, and safety standards. This dataset includes records of residential building permits issued between January 1, 2018 through February 14, 2022, featuring issue dates, permit numbers, types, locations (address and zip code), and project descriptions. Residents, developers, researchers, and other members of the public can use this dataset to gain insight into the City’s residential development scope and scale, making it an important tool for tracking urban development trends, facilitating strategic planning, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Potential Applications: Use by urban planners and city officials for planning services and infrastructure to meet residential growth. Reference for local community groups to understand housing trends and advocate for community needs. Public awareness of ongoing and future residential projects. Data Sources and Frequency of Updates: Data for this timeframe (1/1/2018 – 2/14/2022) is sourced from the City's Inspections Department through Trakit, the City's former permitting software utilized to field permit applications and manage approvals. The City no longer uses Trakit as its permitting software. This dataset is for archival purposes only. The Inspections Department now uses MGO permitting software for fielding permit applications and managing approvals. For the latest data on residential permits, users should refer to the "Residential Permits Issued: Feb 15 2022 Through Present" dataset. Data Quality: Prior to February 15, 2022, residential permits were managed using a different software, Trakit, resulting in distinct reporting structures compared to the current system, MGO. This variation has led to the publication of two separate datasets on the open data portal: "Residential Permits Issued: Feb 15 2022 Through Present" and "Residential Permits Issued: Jan 1 2018 Through Feb 14 2022" with differences in field labeling and report formats. Users should exercise caution when comparing historical data across these datasets due to these discrepancies in collection methods and field variations.
