Known gaps and gotchas

The best permit feed in the region, and it has to be — Hillsborough County has no bulk permit export for anything after 19 January 2021 because HillsGovHub is search-only. That is the largest open-data gap in Tampa Bay and the subject of our first Chapter 119 request.

How it is fetched

The fetcher lives at workers/ingest/tampa-permits.js. Every run archives the raw file to object storage, dated, before anything is parsed — that is the audit trail and the rebuild path when a parser turns out to be wrong. Every run also writes to the ingest log whether it succeeded or failed.
