What this source covers
Covers every City of Raleigh building permit in the City's daily open-data extract — current status, application/issue/expiry dates, site address, parcel and the single total permit fee — but not plan reviews, inspection results, conditions or documents, none of which Raleigh publishes, and the extract typically runs 1-3 days behind the permit office.
