Albemarle County periodically posts two very handy documents that are useful in determining where construction is happening and where people are about to move. Earlier this month, the Board of Supervisors officially recognized the building permit report for the first quarter of 2023 as well as a report on certificates of occupancy.
“During the 1st Quarter of 2023, 91 certificates of occupancy were issued for 196 dwelling units,” reads the latter report.
Of those, 163 were in the designated growth area and 32 were in the rural area. The total amount is more than in the first quarter of 2022 when the total number was 129.
There were 779 certificates of occupancy issued in all of 2022 compared with 960 in 2021 and 1,143 in 2020. The majority of units in all four years are multifamily units compared to single-family homes.
Meanwhile, there were fewer building permits issued in the first quarter of 2023 compared to previous years. Only 94 permits were obtained from January to March compared with 464 in the first quarter of 2020, 232 in 2021, and 177 in 2022. Visit the building permit report for the full amount of information contained within.
