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. Miami-Dade issues a separate permit for each trade on a job, so these are permits, and one project can account for several of them.
What the Miami-Dade data covers
The feed is Miami-Dade County's permit system. About four in five permits are for unincorporated Miami-Dade; the rest span more than 30 municipalities, including the City of Miami, Coral Gables, Hialeah and Doral. Cities with their own building departments, such as Miami Beach, route only some permits through the county, so their coverage is partial.
Building types: new residential construction, residential renovation, new commercial construction, commercial renovation, new institutional construction, institutional renovation, new industrial construction, industrial renovation. Every trade: Miami-Dade construction leads by trade.
