What this source covers
Pierce County publishes building, site development and related permits — including applications still in review — to its open data portal, so PermitChime tracks permit status and the application, issue and final dates, but not plan review results, inspections, fees or conditions, because the county does not publish them. This covers unincorporated Pierce County; cities inside it, including Tacoma, issue their own permits.
