What is in the file, and what $349 buys1,000 rows pulled 25 Aug 2026
$349 buys ONE of the five slices below, not all 1,000 rows. Chicago publishes a building-permit table and overwrites it. We pulled 1,000 of those rows on 25 Aug 2026 and assembled them as one CSV, with person-name columns taken out. The five slices for sale are Easy Permit Process, Express Permit Program, Signs, Renovation / alteration, New construction.

Required notice from the City of Chicago, printed here at the point of sale, character for character:
This site provides applications using data that has been modified for use from its original source, www.cityofchicago.org, the official website of the City of Chicago.

1,000 is what we hold, not what the city has ever published. A row we did not pull is not in the file you buy. The portal itself stays free.
Person columns are stripped. The outbound name guard refuses a paid file whose header names a person or a way to reach one. Those columns stay in the city's portal and stay out of what we sell.
