Permits to build or install a swimming pool or spa on residential or commercial property.
Window: permits issued May 7–Aug 1, 2026. The city's feed publishes ~2 weeks behind real time, so "latest" is measured against the newest issue date we hold, not today. "Value" is the applicant's declared job valuation — a self-reported estimate, not an audited cost.
