Checked live on Oct 25, 2026. No permits shown here are invented.

City of Sacramento — Issued Permits (current year)

Usable
  • Public query access works, no login needed.
  • 15,912 records; up to 2,000 per page (paging needed).
  • Data last updated Oct 1, 2026; newest status date Sep 27, 2026 — roughly weekly, not daily.
  • Useful fields: Application (permit #), Type, Sub_Type, Current_Status, Status_Date, Address, ZIP, Valuation, Work_Desc.
  • 141 permits mention “fence”, but many are false hits (e.g. demolition site fencing, removing walls).

Placer County — Active Building Permits

Not usable for daily leads
  • Public query access works; 5,844 records.
  • Last updated Oct 2021 — a frozen snapshot, not a live feed.
  • Field names are auto-generated from a spreadsheet; no clear dates.
  • Recommend: find an official current Placer source before including it.

Next step (needs your approval)

Ingestion now pulls City of Sacramento and Sacramento County together, skips duplicates, and explains each fence match.
