Austin logged 91 permits in July, up from 73 the month before. Sixty-seven were express permits—the fast-track variety for smaller jobs. Total permit value nudged up 8% to $3.2 million. Renovation work accounted for 17 permits, new construction for three. No new business licenses or closures showed up in the data this month.
2026-07
Austin adds one peddler, nothing else moves
July was almost completely quiet in Austin. One new business license went to Zeferino Gonzalez, a peddler. No building permits, no 311 requests, no crimes, no restaurant violations — all logged as zero for the month. It's rare to see a data set this flat.
