Perguntas frequentes
What area does this Chicago building permits scraper cover?
It covers building permits issued across the entire City of Chicago, spanning all 50 wards and 77 community areas. You can pull citywide results or narrow to a single ward, community area or street.
How many permits can I collect in one run?
As many as you need. Set Max Items to cap the run, or leave it high to pull large historical batches. Results come back newest issued first and paginate automatically.
Can I filter to a specific type of project or a minimum construction cost?
Yes. Filter by permit type such as New Construction or Renovation/Alteration, set a minimum reported cost to focus on higher-value projects, restrict a date range, or target a ward, community area or street.
Does it include the owner and contractor for each permit?
Yes. Every record flattens the property owner and the lead contractor into their own fields, and the full contacts list keeps every party on the permit, including trade contractors, architects and expediters with their city, state and ZIP.
What happens if a permit is missing some fields?
Optional fields such as special permit conditions or an owner name are returned as null when the city record does not include them, rather than being dropped, so your export stays consistent.
Does it break down the permit fees?
Yes. Beyond the reported construction cost and total fee, each record includes a full fee breakdown by category (building, zoning and other) with the subtotal, amount paid, amount unpaid and amount waived, so finance and estimating teams can see exactly what was charged.
