MONTRÉAL / MUNICIPAL PERMITS

Answers before you begin.

Answers about coverage, dates, the map, privacy and the pilot’s capabilities.

Is this a request for a quote?

No. A permit records a declared project. It does not confirm that a contractor remains to be selected, that work is available or that a customer wants contact.

Which area is covered?

This view covers City of Montréal territory, not the entire island or metropolitan region. Counts reflect retained records and do not guarantee complete coverage.

Are records updated live?

The page reads the latest existing directory state. It imports no new permits. The last successful check date differs from the newest known issue; actual freshness depends on the source and separate processing.

How are weeks counted?

The 12 displayed periods are complete Monday–Sunday weeks in America/Toronto. The ongoing week is excluded. Exact dates and counts are available beneath the chart.

What does the weekly change mean?

It compares issues in the last completed week with the previous completed week. If the prior count is zero, no percentage is calculated. A change proves neither a durable commercial trend nor a source failure.

Do the charts change with search filters?

The city overview, 90-day category distribution and borough table remain global. The map, list and digest preview follow all criteria. Additional selection charts follow borough, category and search, but not the issue window of the list.

What do work categories mean?

Construction, alteration, extension, demolition and other group records for browsing. They are not validated trades or proof that a particular service will be purchased.

Why are some values missing?

Only information available from the source is shown. Work value, building year and cadastral data are not invented to complete a record.

Does the map give an exact address?

No. Public coordinates are rounded. Positions support area discovery, not owner or parcel identification. Records without coordinates remain in the list.

Why can the map show fewer permits?

Records without coordinates cannot be mapped. A point cap can also limit the map; the page discloses it. The paginated list remains the reference for all matches.

Do you provide owner contacts?

No. Owner names and contact details are not supplied. A published project address is neither a customer contact nor outreach permission.

Does the digest preview send an email?

No. It shows up to five permits from the current filtered page in a weekly reading format. Scheduled customer sending is not activated.

What is the private workspace for?

It keeps saved projects, private notes, stages, reminders and geographic watches. Records show only available published fields, with visible automated-match limitations.

Can I buy a subscription?

Not in this pilot: payments are not activated. The proposed price and trial describe the offer; they do not start a purchase or charge.

What if a record looks incorrect?

Check the municipal source first. In your private workspace, keep a note or project-relevance feedback. A reading error must never be interpreted as zero permits.

PROJECT CONTEXT

The permit is a starting point.

Available information

The public directory shows the permit number, borough, work category and issue date. Map positions are rounded.

Information not integrated

Building year, cadastral lot, property assessment and owner identity are not integrated into this view. Missing values or information are never invented.

Your private follow-up

In your workspace: saved projects, private notes, stages, reminders and area watches. An address is available only when published and present in the record.

THE PILOT, CLEARLY EXPLAINED

Records to investigate. Not a promise of contracts.

Payments and scheduled sending are not activated. Browsing reads the existing directory; it does not trigger a new import. Owner contact details are not provided.
