Sources
Source attribution — every metro.
Every permit row in PermitCore traces back to a named upstream open-data portal. This page lists the portal, feed name, license, and PermitCore-side refresh cadence per metro. Where a source integration is still being documented, the row says so plainly — we never assert a portal we haven't verified on this surface.

Per-metro attribution
Sources by metro.
One row per metro. The documented rows are the ones whose upstream portal, feed name, and license are listed here today; partial rows know the platform family but not yet the exact dataset id; deferred rows are metros whose source details are still being documented — their attribution lands here on a rolling basis.

Licensing posture
Licensing + attribution.
Every upstream source on this page is a US municipal or county open-data publication. Most are released as public domain or a CC0-equivalent; a handful (PortlandMaps, certain ArcGIS Hub tenants) request attribution. PermitCore preserves the per-source license verbatim from the upstream portal's terms; downstream consumers inherit the upstream license unchanged.
PermitCore enriches each upstream row with derived columns — IBC segment assignment, address normalization, parcel join, field-level DQ flags — but does not re-license the underlying permit record. Licence terms are preserved and published per source, in the table above — that is the canonical record of what each portal requires, including the handful that request attribution. They are not carried as a per-row field today. If you need the per-source license terms for a metro you're building against, the upstream portal link in the table above is the canonical reference; we mirror what they publish.
Adding a source
Adding a source.
New sources land in PermitCore via the same 4-step promotion path documented on /coverage: source identification → raw-data ingest → mapping → live promotion. The source integration is built and verified first; the attribution row here is updated on a rolling basis as each source's details are documented. A metro showing Coming soon on /coverage will typically appear as deferred here until its integration is producing data in production.
If you operate a permit-data portal and would like to confirm or correct your attribution on this page, the contact path runs through /coverage — every page-load of /coverage carries the request form. The same form handles metro requests and adapter-priority feedback; both feed the same intake queue.
