Counted with a single aggregate query against Austin DSD’s own permit descriptions, dataset 3syk-w9eu, when this page was last rebuilt. It is the pool, not the feed: scoring and per-rule exclusions cut it down from here, and what reaches a rep is the part that clears 65.
6 filings worth a call.
These rules run against the words an applicant in Austin wrote on the form, not against the category the city filed it under. That distinction matters: Austin DSD groups a large share of work under "Electrical Permit", which tells you nothing about the trade it feeds.
Rezoning hearing scheduled
The earliest signal that exists. A case set for hearing means an owner has already filed and paid, weeks before the decision, months before a permit, and before any competitor reading permit data can see it.
Rezoning / variance approved
Pre-permit entitlement. Development intent is now on the public record, months before any permit exists.
New construction
Ground-up construction means a transaction on both ends, land in, finished product out.
Teardown / rebuild
Demolition is the clearest teardown-rebuild tell, and the owner is nearly always working with capital.
ADU / second unit
ADUs signal an owner optimizing for yield, usually an investor, or an owner about to become one.
Addition / major remodel
Renovation precedes listing far more often than not, the pre-sale improvement window is roughly 6 to 18 months.
