Nearly 1,600 home permits were filed in Escambia County in 2023. Here's where they are
Like it or not, Escambia County is growing. New townhomes, single-family homes, condos and development in general is going up all throughout the county.
Permit data pulled from the My Government Online permit database used by Escambia County shows there were nearly 1,600 permits applied for in 2023 for just single-family dwellings alone, though not all of those permits have been approved as of now.
We took a look back at every story we’ve published over the past year to help better quantify those numbers and show readers where these new homes are cropping up and what can be expected.
All in all, we know where nearly 1,100 of those homes will be built, with the unaccounted for permits still under review or simply not part of these larger new developments.
