The overall number of building permits (New Construction, Renovations, and Additions) increased in 2024, as did industrial, but commercial saw a small decrease. In 2024, the number of single-family home permits increased by 106%, from 50 last year to 103 this year. This is in part due to an incredible amount of single-family residential permits submitted through the year, from several different independent builders. PABD staff anticipates residential construction to remain steady in 2025 as builders continue to build the lots that were approved previously. Similarly, staff anticipates steady industrial and commercial development, with a number of projects coming down the pipeline for potential start of construction in 2025.
