C411, Survey of Residential Building or Zoning Permit Systems.
The Census Bureau produces statistics used to monitor activity in the large and dynamic construction industry. These statistics help state and local governments and the federal government, as well as private industry, to analyze this important sector of the economy. The accuracy of the Census Bureau statistics regarding the amount of construction authorized depends on data supplied by building and zoning officials throughout the country. The Census Bureau uses Form C411 to obtain information from state and local building permit officials needed for updating the universe of permit-issuing places which serves as the sampling frame for the Report of Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued OMB number 06070094, also known as the Building Permits Survey BPS, and the Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions OMB number 06070110, also known as Survey of Construction SOC. These two sample surveys provide widely used measures of construction activity, including the principal economic indicators, New Residential Construction and New Home Sales. Data from the BPS and SOC
are also used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis BEA in the calculation of estimates of the Residential Fixed Investment portion of the Nations Gross Domestic Product GDP. In addition, data from the BPS are used by the Census Bureau in the calculation of annual population estimates; these estimates are widely used by government agencies to allocate funding and other resources to local governments.
The questions on Form C411 pertain to the legal requirements for issuing building or zoning permits in the local jurisdictions. Information is obtained on such items as geographic coverage and types of construction for which permits are issued.
The appropriate form is sent to a jurisdiction when the Census Bureau has reason to believe that a new permit system has been established or an existing one has changed. This is based on information from a variety of sources including survey respondents, regional councils and the Census Bureaus Geography Division, which keeps abreast of changes in corporate status.
We anticipate approximately a 50%
response rate to the mailed C411
forms, which is supplemented with existing known information from the C
404 monthly and annual collection, individual follow-ups with jurisdictions by email or phone, and publicly available information to maintain
