## Miscellaneous Finalized Permits

This chart illustrates miscellaneous permits finalized during the first quarter of fiscal year 26/27 compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 25/26. Miscellaneous permits include projects not associated with new construction, such as patios, pools, block walls, HVAC installations, and water heater replacements. The data shows a decrease in finalized miscellaneous permits in 26/27 relative to 25/26, mainly due to a decline in the number of solar permits.
