Austin pool permit tracker

Every project in the current Austin cycle whose documented scope includes a pool, from City of Austin issued permit records, deduplicated to one entry per project. Reporting period: Sep 23 to Oct 22, 2026. This page updates with each new cycle.

How to read this tracker. Selection rule: a project is listed when the PermitScope engine’s matched scope for the project includes a pool (the recorded scope text describes pool work, for example “new pool”, “pool and spa”, or “swimming pool”). That gives 143 pool projects this cycle: 135 residential and 8 commercial. Our weekly brief reports 135 pool projects because it counts residential projects only; this tracker lists both segments, so the totals differ by exactly the 8 commercial pool projects. Builders and parties are named as recorded. A stated value prints only where the record states one of $500 or more; most pool records state no usable value, and Austin’s $1 placeholder values are never shown as dollars. Nothing on this page says any project’s pool, plaster, tile, or equipment scope is unfilled.

All 143 pool projects this cycle

Sorted by issued date, newest first. Where no GC of record is named, the parties named on the record are shown instead and labeled as such. Pool plaster, tile, coping, and equipment work around these projects is inference from the documented scope, not a statement in the record: the record documents the pool, not which finish trades are engaged.

A permit is evidence that a project exists. It is not a guarantee of available work, an unfilled contract, or an invitation to contact anyone. Verify scope and timing with the named party before acting. Status: PermitScope is in pre-launch. Registration is a launch waitlist; digest delivery has not started yet, and no paid subscriptions are being accepted yet.
