Orlando's $1.8B in recorded declared value this period is a floor, not a ceiling — a meaningful share of permits in any city's data carry no declared value at all.
Methodology
This brief is built from Orlando's municipal permit data, normalized into PropertyLabs' unified permit schema. Figures count every permit recorded between January 1 and July 19, 2026, across all statuses — applications, reviews, issuances, and completions — so they describe the full pipeline, not just approvals. Where a municipality repeats a single master-project valuation across many sub-permits of one site, that valuation is counted once. This is a point-in-time snapshot (July 2026), not a full historical series.
Sources and limitations
Source: Orlando municipal open data / permit portal, extracted July 2026.
This snapshot reflects only the permits captured in PropertyLabs' most recent Orlando export and should not be read as a complete historical series. Unit counts are not consistently reported in this dataset and are omitted from totals. Figures are not comparable year-over-year from this file alone.
