Search Swope Parkway-ElmwoodFigures cover the Swope Parkway-Elmwood neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months, compared against the average Kansas City neighborhood. Source: City of Kansas City, Missouri open data. Kansas City’s permit data is the EnerGov permit table, which publishes no project cost and no map coordinates: each permit is placed at the center of its parcel. It covers residential and commercial building permits and demolition permits (not electrical, plumbing, mechanical, sign or right-of-way permits). Building permits are rarely marked finaled, so a permit counts as active for a year after it was issued if its status is Issued. About 5% of permits cannot be matched to a parcel and do not appear on the map. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
