Westgate

What the public record says about Westgate

• City of Austin Development Services has issued 2,090 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Westgate planning-area boundary, the earliest dated January 16, 1978 and the most recent September 16, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $92,434,843. 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 March 24, 2026.
• The 5 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from July 1, 2026 to September 4, 2026, averaging 79 out of 100. Austin Public Health publishes these in irregular batches, historically weeks after the visit, and this page lists at most 15 — so that count is the size of our list, not the number of restaurants in Westgate. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
• Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78745, 78704, 78749, 78748, 78701, 0 sit inside this boundary. The Comptroller has not published a filing month for these rows. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Westgate. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.
