How to look up a building permit in Montreal
Montreal publishes its permit records itself, on a CKAN open-data endpoint at donnees.montreal.ca, in the dataset "Permis de construction". 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 560,812 Montreal permit records, current to 2026-09-21. See the full Montreal lookup guide for the step by step.
