FAQ

Where does PermitStack get Atlanta permit data?

We ingest data directly from the official Atlanta open data portal (ArcGIS Hub) daily. This is the same source used by the city's own public dashboards, normalized into a consistent JSON schema across our U.S. jurisdictions.

How current is the Atlanta data?

Our automated ingestion runs daily at 03:00 UTC. The latest permit in our database for Atlanta, Georgia was issued on August 6, 2026. Permit backlogs on the city side may mean some permits take a few days to appear.

Can I access Atlanta permits without an API key?

Yes — our free tier includes 100 requests per day, enough to search and filter Atlanta permits interactively. Sign up for a free API key to get started.

Can I export Atlanta permit data?

Yes. CSV export is available on every plan, including free, with the row cap rising by tier. Real-time webhooks for changed permits are on the Developer plan and above.

How long does an Atlanta building permit take to issue?

Most Atlanta permits are issued on the same day they are filed, reflecting electronic submission and same-day processing for routine permit types. Larger or more complex projects (new construction, major additions) often take longer.
