Richardson building permits

Updated November 2026

The official way to look up a Richardson building permit is the city’s Building Inspection online permits page, which includes permit search. Richardson also publishes monthly PDF reports of building permits, certificates of occupancy, single-family homes, and swimming pools. DFW Permit does not currently have a daily Richardson feed, so those permits are not in the weekday email.

How to look up a Richardson permit

  1. Use the city’s official Online Permits page, which includes a Search Permits option, to look up a specific record.
  2. For a month-at-a-time view, download the Building Inspection monthly reports. The city publishes PDFs for building permits, certificates of occupancy, single-family homes, and swimming pools.
  3. Collin CAD almost never includes Richardson in its permit file, so that county dataset is not a workaround.

William Parker, who built DFW Permit, lives in Richardson, and this was one of the first cities we tried to add. The city is well organized for applicants and for monthly summaries, but it does not publish a daily open-data extract comparable to Dallas or Plano. Contractors who work Richardson and the surrounding cities can still get Dallas and Plano in the daily email, and they can use the official monthly PDFs for a backward-looking view of Richardson pools and new homes.

We could not find a daily, machine-readable Richardson permit feed. Monthly PDFs are useful for research but too late for a same-week sales visit. DFW Permit does not currently email Richardson permits. If a daily feed appears, existing subscribers get that city at no extra charge.
