Methodology
This brief is built from Winnipeg'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: Winnipeg municipal open data / permit portal, extracted July 2026.
This snapshot reflects only the permits captured in PropertyLabs' most recent Winnipeg export and should not be read as a complete historical series. Declared value is not consistently reported in this dataset and is omitted from totals. Figures are not comparable year-over-year from this file alone.
