What this source covers
Austin publishes permit status once a day from AMANDA — plan review cases before approval and issued BP/EP/MP/PP/DS permits, with status, dates, address, work class and contractor — but publishes no discipline-level plan reviews, no inspection results, no fees, no conditions and no documents, which exist only inside the browser-only Austin Build + Connect portal.
