How to look up a building permit in Kitchener
Kitchener publishes its permit records itself, on a ArcGIS FeatureServer open-data endpoint at services1.arcgis.com, in the dataset "Building Permits". 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 75,927 Kitchener permit records, current to 2026-09-28. See the full Kitchener lookup guide for the step by step.
