What's Being Built in Elmhurst (2026)

Figures cover the Elmhurst neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months, compared against the average Sacramento neighborhood. Source: City of Sacramento open data and Sacramento County open data. Sacramento’s permit data is the city’s issued building permits, which publish no map location: each permit is placed at the center of its parcel using the county’s parcel layer, and about 4% to 5% of permits cannot be matched to a parcel (most often new construction on newly split parcels, which the parcel layer does not hold yet) and do not appear on the map, so a place with no permits listed may still have had new construction. It covers new buildings, additions, remodels, demolitions, tenant improvements and pools (not minor repair, roofing, electrical, mechanical, solar, sign or fire-equipment permits). Permits are rarely marked finaled quickly, so a permit counts as active for up to one to three years after it was issued, by project cost, while its status is Issued. 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.
