Coverage: this report covers construction permits issued by the City of Austin. The city's permitting jurisdiction reaches beyond the city limits — including its extraterritorial jurisdiction and a few neighboring communities that use Austin's permitting — so totals here are City of Austin feed totals for the Travis County report, labeled as such, never blended with other jurisdictions' records. County-wide coverage is not implied.
