What this is
The City of Dallas stopped updating its open-data file of certificates of occupancy on November 15, 2022. It still publishes them, one spreadsheet per month, on a reports page of its own website. This site rebuilds one searchable directory from the three open-data files (October 2015 to November 2022) and the 43 monthly spreadsheets (January 2023 to September 2026): one record per certificate number, with its address, land use, type and dates.
Who uses it
- Tenants and brokers — does this suite have a certificate of occupancy, and for which use?
- Lenders, insurers and buyers — the dated record of a certificate, for a file.
- Applicants for a license — the CO number and land use the City has on record.
What it is not
Not the City of Dallas, and not a certificate. Rebuilt from City of Dallas files only. Certificates issued between November 16 and December 31, 2022, and the City's reports for August and September 2025, are not in the files the City publishes; certificates issued before October 2015 are not covered. From 2023 to mid-2025 the City's reports list applications as of that month, issued or not: read the status and the issue date. Since late 2025 the City's reports no longer give the business name. A certificate issued years ago may have been replaced by a later one at the same address. Owner names are never downloaded.
