Every week, San Antonio, TX publishes the building permits it issued — every roof, remodel, panel upgrade, and new build, with the address and what the job is. Almost nobody reads them. This post reads them: it is built entirely from the 8,866 permits in our database for San Antonio, TX, pulled from the city's own published records for Oct 23, 2023 to Nov 6, 2026. No estimates, no padding — if a number is here, it is counted from those records.
The week in numbers
San Antonio, TX issued 8,866 permits in this window. Of those, 69 publish a job value, totaling $470,037,652 in published work. The busiest trade lane was other / general, and the full top five looks like this:
| Trade | Permits |
|---|---|
| Other / general | 3,841 |
| Plumbing | 1,666 |
| Remodel & addition | 1,560 |
| HVAC | 657 |
| Electrical | 619 |
A permit can count toward more than one trade when the work spans trades, so lane counts add up to more than the permit total.
