South Calgary has 284 building permit records in CalgaryPermit's copy of the City of Calgary Building Permits open data. 171 have an issued date and 113 do not. These figures describe the rows stored on this site, not an official citywide total. The earliest applied date stored for this community is 1999-08-17 and the latest is 2026-10-28.

In the stored rows, the most common permit type label is Commercial / Multi Family Project (133 records), and the most common work class is Alteration (113 records). Permit type is the City's project category. Work class says whether the job is new construction, an alteration, an addition, a repair, a demolition, or another label the feed uses. Read both with the permit class and the description on each record. A type label alone does not say whether the City has issued the permit.

An estimated project cost is filled in on 166 of 284 stored permits. The average of those reported estimates is $627,336.58 and the sum is $104,137,871.84. The City publishes estprojectcost as an estimate attached to the application. It is not a contract price, a final invoice, or a City assessment, and permits with a blank estimate are left out of both numbers.

Applications with an applied date in the last 12 months: 76. Applications with an applied date in the 12 months before that: 97. If the older window is small, the usual reason is that this site's copy does not go back that far for the community, not that the neighbourhood had no construction.

The contractor name published most often in this community's stored permits is LEONARD DEVELOPMENT GROUP, on 13 permits. A repeated name is a clue that the company appears in the open data. It is not a City ranking, a licence check, or a count of crews on site. The same firm can be spelled more than one way, and a blank contractor name means the City did not publish one on that row.
