AGC App to Access
Austin Building Permits...Free to Austin AGC Member Firms!

 
When you see a building construction project in town and want to know more details, just pull up the app. You'll quickly see a map of Austin showing every building permit issued in town within the last twelve months. That's a lot of permits, of course! 
But simply zoom in on the map to the location of the project you're seeking more information about. Tap on the corresponding pin(s) and in just a few seconds you'll have details about that project right in the palm of you hand!
 
Want to see the actual building permit files with all the project details? Simply scroll down to the bottom of the page, click on the External Link and you'll be connected directly to all the project documents on file and publicly available n the City's permitting database.

Even better, we're giving every Austin AGC member company full access to the app for FREE! It's our gift to you, a little extra value for your membership and our way of saying "thank you" for being a supporter of our organization! We're extending this free offer to non-members as well through June 2023!

To get started, simply download the app for your iPhone or Android device. You can also find it by searching "builditpermits"' at your app store. Register for the app and we'll upgrade your account for full access. If you previously downloaded and registered for the app but are still unable to access, try logging out and then back in again; all registered user accounts have been manually upgraded for full access!
