Read October 9, 2026 from Builtie's permit data.
A month is marked incomplete when its count is under half of the market's usual month: that is the city's publishing lag, not a slowdown.
What the Fort Worth data covers
The data is Fort Worth's own building permits. Neighbouring cities issue their own permits and are not in this count. Arlington, Dallas and the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area are separate permit offices. Builtie looks up the owner company and its contacts behind Fort Worth permits rather than reading a builder off the permit.
Building types: new commercial construction, commercial renovation. Every trade: Fort Worth construction leads by trade.
