Data guides
County or permit system: see how much data you have, then export it.
Pick a system to see two things: how to check how much data is in it, and how to export a copy. No form, no sign-in.

How to see how much data is in County or permit system
- Sign in to the county or permit portal
- Open My Permits, Applications or Records
- Note how many permits and inspections are listed
- Note the earliest year
Record permit count and years of history; older permits may be paper-only at the county office.
How to get a copy of your County or permit system data
- Open the county's online permit portal
- Search by address or permit number
- Download permits, inspections and plans as PDF
- Note anything not available online
- File a records request for older documents
Permit holders can usually look up and download permits, inspections and plans as PDF from the county's online portal, or request copies from the office.
Older permits may only exist on paper or microfilm and need a public records request.
These instructions are written by DataFrenzy from each vendor’s public help pages. Menu names can vary by plan and change over time; the official link on each guide is the final word. Screenshots come from each vendor’s own help pages and videos or, where noted, from third-party tutorials credited under the image; dashed outlines are illustrations, not screenshots. Looking up a size or preparing an export never sends anything to DataFrenzy.
