Why this page exists

Houston on PermitCore: daily-refreshed, IBC-cohort-tagged, DQ-flagged.

Parcel-joined geometry across Houston.

Every commercial permit joined to its lot polygon where source data permits. Join rate Parcel-joined ~91%. Unjoined rows are flagged with addr_unmatched, not silently dropped.

Daily refresh from the metro's open-data portals.

Refreshed every 24h from Houston's public permit datasets. Competitors typically update on the 1st and 15th with multi-week processing lag. PermitCore ingests, cohort-classifies, and DQ-flags by 02:00 local.

Field-level DQ flags on every row.

12 data-quality flags per row. Cell-level transparency on valuation, roof area, IBC class, parcel join, dedup, date sanity. Filter or weight by flag in API queries.
