Description:

Copyright Text: The GIS data used in the Building Permits Data System points is supplied by the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC), based on permit data provided by local permit-issuing jurisdictions. No database of this size and complexity, however, is error-free. You might find some incorrect data in the Building Permits Data System points, as you would in any other data set. Over the years, building permit points were geocoded using a variety of software and reference data. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council made every effort to ensure accurate geocoding however there may be inaccuracies or inconsistencies in how the points were placed. For best results, the Baltimore Metropolitan Council recommends aggregating the building permit points to a larger geography (ex. Census tract, zip code) when analyzing the data. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council does not make any warranty, express or implied, as to the use or appropriateness of the data, and there are no warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or use and no representation is made as to the accuracy or completeness of the data or image products included in Building Permits Data System. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) shall not be subject to liability for human error, defect, or failure of machines. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) shall not be liable for any losses, consequential damages or claims against the data user by third parties.

Comments: The permits include any permit that is use code 40-48 (most new residential), 60-65 (mixed use), or is greater than or equal to $50,000. Historically, BMC receives the permits from participating jurisdictions and geocodes them. In recent years, some jurisdictions have started geocoding their own permits. When this is the case, BMC incorporates the geocoded points as given, and does not include them in its own geocoding process. There is no layer for Mixed Use alterations; alterations to Mixed Use always get classified as Residential or Non-Residential. Note: Over the years, building permit points were geocoded using a variety of software and reference data. The Baltimore Metropolitan Council made every effort to ensure accurate geocoding however there may be inaccuracies or inconsistencies in how the points were placed. For best results, the Baltimore Metropolitan Council recommends aggregating the building permit points to a larger geography (ex. Census tract, zip code) when analyzing the data.
