Neighbourhoods are the City of Toronto's own. Toronto's August and September 2026 permits are not complete in the feed yet, so the window ends in July. Builtie's Toronto data is the amalgamated City of Toronto, including Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, East York and York. Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham and the rest of the GTA issue their own permits and are not in the feed today, so a Toronto count is not a GTA count. Toronto states a construction cost on about a third of 2026 permits.
Building types: residential, commercial, institutional, industrial. Month by month: Toronto construction permits by month.
