Growth Watch is your portal to datasets extracted from the City's development review system to support tracking and understanding of development trends.  It is intended primarily for those wishing to download the data and manipulate it in software such as GIS, Business Intelligence, Spreadsheet, Database, or similar software. 

Growth Watch (GW) data is primarily extracted from AMANDA, the City's development case management system.  GW  data is not live, and is typically updated daily or some other period of time.  Customers can use Austin Build + Connect (ABC) to see live AMANDA data, and use Property Profile to view cases and other City GIS layers.


Datasets

Download or view data by clicking on the following links.  See download instructions for the GIS and tables here. Online Maps are quick digital maps in ArcGIS online format.  ArcGIS and ArcPro users can add City GIS data including the Online Map files below by going here and clicking on the three dots after each layer.

Note that tables typically represent all cases, while the Export GIS datasets usually start from 2007, with the exception of building permits GIS, which covers the last ten years. The tables and the "Cases" GIS layers are typically updated daily. Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Driveway and Sidewalk Permits GIS and Online Maps are updated weekly. Data for these Permits are also covered in the Issued Construction Permits table.
