How to look up a building permit in Calgary
Calgary publishes its permit records itself, on a Socrata open-data endpoint at data.calgary.ca, in the dataset "Issued Building Permits (c2es-76ed)". That feed is the source this page reads, so a record here can be checked against the city's own copy. Search by civic address first, then confirm the permit number and the issue date. Records the city has not yet published will not appear in either place.
Van Permit Audit holds 498,045 Calgary permit records, current to 2026-09-26. See the full Calgary lookup guide for the step by step.
