On the record

This edition quotes Durham’s file: commercial or multifamily, status Issued, newest issue dates, no street invented. Chapel Hill’s portal was opened on October 16, 2026, and this edition does not quote it, because issued rows are not public without an account.

The open-data “about” page still says the catalog was updated in November 2024. The live inspections layer’s newest issue dates are October 2026, so the notes use the live layer. A single permit shows its point and its PIN15. A counted note, such as the townhouses, says how many rows matched and does not pick one point. The layer does not give a street. Where the file is blank, the page is blank.
