Display Field: permit_no

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint

Description: 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.
