Govalle

What the public record says about Govalle

• City of Austin Development Services has issued 3,255 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Govalle planning-area boundary, the earliest dated February 15, 1978 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $2,262,959,911. Declared value is the figure an applicant puts on the permit application — not market value and not finished cost. Counted over every issue date in the city’s Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only. Placing a permit inside a boundary needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% of them, as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location at all — those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood, here or anywhere else, so this is a count of geocoded permits rather than of every permit issued. How busy it is now is a different question, and the list below is the honest answer to it: the 25 most recently issued permits here were all issued since July 10, 2026.
• None of the Austin Public Health inspections published for ZIP 78702, 78721, 78741, 78722, 78701 could be placed inside this boundary — we match them by geocoded street address, so this means “none we can place”, not “none exist”.
• Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78702, 78721, 78741, 78722, 78701, 3 sit inside this boundary. The newest filing in that set is August 2026. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Govalle. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.
