Growth Watch

Growth Watch is your portal to datasets extracted from the City's development review system in geographic informations system (GIS) and other formats to support tracking and understanding of development trends.

Alternatively, use Austin Build + Connect (ABC) to see additional information and case types for individual permits/cases, or Property Profile, which provides a map viewer of certain case types and other GIS layers.

Datasets

Download or view data by clicking on the following links, or see download instructions for the GIS and tables here. ArcGIS and ArcPro users can add City GIS data including the Online Map files below by going here and clicking on the three dots after each layer.

Note that tables typically represent all cases, while GIS datasets usually start from 2007, with the exception of building permits GIS, which covers the last ten years. The tables and the "Cases" GIS layers are typically updated daily. Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Driveway and Sidewalk Permits GIS and Online Maps are updated weekly. Data for these Permits are also covered in the Issued Construction Permits table.
