Coverage

At launch, Decisions covered 600+ cities and nearly 200,000 decision records, roughly half of the jurisdictions where Shovels has permit coverage. Coverage continues to expand toward parity with permit data.
Because coverage varies by jurisdiction, a geography with permit data may not yet have decision data. Check the Coverage Dashboard for the latest.
