It’s a milestone: Chicago Cityscape has looked to the suburbs to include more information in our one-stop property data warehouse.
We’ve added just over 10,000 permits from Naperville for the years 2016 and 2017, the only years available.
More data!
The data includes building permits, like Chicago, but also permits for driveway repair, pools, decks, pergolas, commercial satellite dishes, finishing basements, and fire alarms.
In fact, there are 87 permit categories in Naperville’s data, compared to the 11 building permit categories in Chicago’s data.
Since we uploaded the data this week, we’re looking for feedback on how it’s visually presented, and how you can search and filter it. You can easily access it by visiting our main building permits map and clicking the Quick Filter called “Permits in City of Naperville”.

Additional map layers coming soon
When you look at Chicago building permits, we can also show you the zoning, and other overlapping maps. We’ll add similar layers to Naperville data in the coming weeks.
The City of Naperville created an #opendata portal in June, providing building permit and other permits) in a format similar to what Chicago’s longstanding portal provides. The city plans to update the data monthly.
