Sacramento construction records · Review preview

Start with a question.
Check the records.

I built this so you can look through Sacramento permit records yourself, see what the source actually says, and take the rows with you.

My work with CIRB showed me how much care sits between a permit record and a useful report. StoraIQ is where I put that experience into practice: clear sources, visible limits, and data you can inspect.

Behind the totals

What labels make up July's recorded work?

Compare the mix, then open the rows behind it. Residential includes work on existing buildings; it does not mean new housing.

The reporting pattern

When do the source rows appear?

All 15,912 rows grouped by the source Status_Date month. This is a dated administrative record count, not verified construction starts or completed homes. No month has verified complete coverage; September ends at the observed September 27 date.

2026-011,617 source rows
2026-021,421 source rows
2026-031,579 source rows
2026-041,802 source rows
2026-051,698 source rows
2026-062,051 source rows
2026-072,092 source rows
2026-081,974 source rows

A different measure

How many housing units were permitted?

This City of Sacramento series counts reported permitted housing units, not permit rows or completed homes. It is separate from the 2026 record explorer.

Sacramento reported permitted housing units, 2020 through 2025. Exact values and cross-source comparison follow in the table. — In 2025, reported permitted units increased by 438 to 2,737 (+19.1%). This does not establish construction completion.

Reported permitted housing units: two source calculations
Year	City units	HCD units*
2020	3,764	3,764
2021	3,496	3,496
2022	2,757	2,757
2023	2,735	2,735
2024	2,299	2,299
2025	2,737	2,737

The source should be within reach

The City of Sacramento publishes this current-year issued-permit layer through ArcGIS. The source date and current status are different fields. A row marked Finaled today does not establish when construction finished.

This preview preserves the selected source labels and flags known review questions. It excludes addresses, parcel numbers, contractor details and work descriptions. Downloaded records include the snapshot ID and original source URL.
