# Development Permits

> Land use and development applications with subtype, status, and decision dates.

<Info>
  **Coming soon.** Development Permits data is not yet available. This page describes the planned endpoint and response schema.
</Info>

Development permits capture land use and site development applications — distinct from building permits, which cover construction. A development permit authorises how land can be used (residential subdivision, commercial redevelopment, mixed-use) and typically precedes a building permit. Records include application type, subtype, current status, and decision date where available.

## Planned endpoint

```
GET /api/v1/development-permits
```

## Planned filters

* `municipality` — city slug
* `subtype` — application subtype
* `status` — e.g. approved, refused, pending
* `decision_after` / `decision_before` — ISO 8601 decision date range
* `lat` / `lng` / `radius_km` — proximity search
