Reading This Market

Chicago issued 2,791 roofing permits between October 30, 2025 and October 30, 2026, about 54 a week. The busiest month was August 2026 with 338 permits and the quietest was January 2026 with 81, so plan crews and marketing around that swing. The median declared job value was $29,000; declared values are what applicants entered on the permit, not final invoices. Permits took a median of 2 days from application to issue, which tells you how far ahead of installation a permit appears in the data. The city's rule for homeowners is summarized as "Depends on slope", which affects how much of the local work shows up as permits at all.

What Each Permit Record Contains

Each record comes from Chicago Building Permits, the city's official open-data publication of issued permits, refreshed October 30, 2026. We show the issue date, the street address, the work description as written by the applicant and the declared value where the city publishes it. We group permits by community area so you can see which neighborhoods are most active. Permit counts are matched by permit type and description, so a few records may be miscategorized; see the methodology page for how we match them. A permit shows that work was approved, not that a job is still open to bid, so contact homeowners respectfully and follow applicable telemarketing and privacy laws.
