Detroit Right of Way Permits

Right-of-way (ROW) permits help us plan and coordinate safe and effective use of our shared public roads, sidewalks, alley ways, and other thoroughfares. The term "public right-of-way" is used to describe land controlled by public agencies and includes streets, alleys, public sidewalks, curbs, and the area between the curb and sidewalk (the berm or green area), as well as the spaces above and below these ROW features. The vertically adjacent spaces are required for many uses of a right-of-way, including, for example to ensure overhead clearance for vehicles, and space for utility lines and other infrastructure objects. Work within the city's Right of Way is managed by the City Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works (DPW). In accordance with Detroit Code Section 43, Division 2, it is necessary to obtain a permit from the City Engineering Division, DPW prior to construction and other activities that will affect a street, alley, sidewalk, or berm/green area. This includes: * Construction that involves altering or blocking a ROW, including Installing utilities like water mains, gas lines, telecommunications lines, installing water or sewer taps, replacing sidewalks, driveway approach, and so on. * Occupying a ROW such that a temporary sidewalks,lane, or street closure is required, including for having a crane or other construction equipment in a ROW, filming, special events, dumpsters, and so on. * Oversized or Overweight Loads. Learn more at [DPW Right of Way Permits and Standards]. The Right of Way Permits data is available in tabular format. A point layer and line layer is also available to visualize where the permitted work is being performed. The point and line layers may have multiple rows for a single permit, the Application ID is the unique identifier for each RoW Permit Application.
Traffic Volumes

This dataset contains estimates of the average number of vehicles that used roads throughout the City of Detroit. Each record indicates the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic (CAADT) for a road segment, where the road segment is located, and other characteristics. This data is derived from Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Open Data Portal. SEMCOG was the source for speed limits and number of lanes. The primary measure, Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), is the estimated mean daily traffic volume for all types of vehicles. Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic (CAADT) is the estimated mean daily traffic volume for commercial vehicles, a subset of vehicles included in the AADT. The Route ID is an identifier for each road in Detroit (e.g., Woodward Ave). Routes are divided into segments by features such as cross streets, and Location ID's are used to uniquely identify those segments. Along with traffic volume, each record also states the number of lanes, the posted speed limit, and the type of road (e.g., Trunkline or Ramp) based on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional classification system. According to [MDOT's Traffic Monitoring Program ]a commercial vehicle would be anything Class 4 and up in the FHWA vehicle classification system. This includes vehicles such as buses, semi-trucks, and personal recreational vehicles (i.e., RVs or campers). Methods used to determine traffic volume vary by site, and may rely on continuous monitoring or estimates based on short-term studies. Approaches to vehicle classification similarly vary, depending on the equipment used at a site, and may consider factors such as vehicle weight and length between axles. For more information, please visit [MDOT Traffic Monitoring Program].
Neighborhood Enterprise Zones - New / Rehab (NR)

The NEZ-NR Districts dataset contains the Neighborhood Enterprise Zones district boundaries applicable to New and Rehabilitated facility projects. NEZ-NR districts are the original NEZ districts. NEZ is a tax abatement program intended to stimulate investment in designated areas of the city. NEZ-NR differs from NEZ-Homestead in that NEZ-NR covers new facilities and/or rehabilitated facility projects. In contrast, the NEZ-H program covers pre-existing residential property inhabited by owner-occupants only. NEZ-NR and NEZ-Homestead programs are administered jointly by the City of Detroit and the State of Michigan under Michigan's [Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) Act, PA 147 of 1992 as amended]. A record of district and dataset modifications from 1992-2017 is noted in the NEZ-NR District Boundary Update document available from the [NEZ NR Changelog]. Each record in this dataset represents a NEZ-NR district boundary. This includes the name, status, and general location of the district, as well as the number of units and proposed price per unit for the district. The dataset also includes a link to the City Council resolution associated with the approval of the district (if applicable), and the date the district was approved.
DLBA Properties For Sale

Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) programs help individuals and organizations purchase houses, vacant land, and other properties at discounted prices. This dataset provides information on houses for sale through the DLBA Auction, Own It Now, and Renovation programs. Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) programs help individuals and organizations purchase houses, vacant land, and other properties at discounted prices. This dataset provides information on houses for sale through the DLBA Auction, Own It Now, and Renovation programs. The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) works directly with individual buyers, as well as Community Partner organizations and developers to achieve their mission to return the city's blighted and vacant properties to productive use. They utilize a variety of sales programs to make homeownership and land purchases accessible to Detroiters. Each row in the DLBA For Sale dataset represents a DLBA-acquired home that is for sale through the Auction, Own It Now, or Renovation program. Each of these house listings includes data about the listing date, sale price, and location information such as address, parcel number, and neighborhood. For more information about these DLBA sales programs, see the DLBA 'Structures' and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) webpages.
Right of Way Street and Alley Openings

This dataset displays the City of Detroit’s public rights-of-way that have been dedicated to the City of Detroit. This includes the widening and expansions of streets, alleys, sidewalks, and berms. This layer also includes Joe Louis Greenways that have been processed as dedications. All proposed dedications must follow City Engineering’s standards. This data is intended as a reference material of street and alley openings, but not designed for survey, accurate positioning, or legal documents. It is created as polygon feature class, dedicated information based on field measurements, types of Right of Way, and citations of Journal of the Common Council (J.C.C.) and legal description are included. The paper maps of the Street and Alley Openings, the raster layer version of those maps (Linen Map Markup Mosaic), and the Detroit parcel layer are used as base maps to create this data. The street and alley openings were recorded from 1831 till now throughout the whole city, and it will be updated on a monthly basis. For more information please visit the [Maps and Records website].
Post Abatement Verification Reports

Post-Abatement Verification (PAV) reports for residential and commercial properties for the City of Detroit's demolition program. Each row in this table represents a "Passed" PAV Report which indicates the property had sufficient Asbestos and Hazardous and Regulated Materials (HAZMAT) abatement performed. This data is provided by the Detroit Construction and Demolition Department. Before a property is contracted for demolition, an Asbestos Survey is performed to identify and test potential Hazardous and Regulated Materials (HAZMAT) within the structure. The report also outlines the location and quantities of the hazardous materials that should be abated before the demolition takes place. The Demolition Contractor performs the Asbestos and HAZMAT abatement. The PAV Contractor then performs an inspection of the building to verify that the materials outlined in the Asbestos Survey were adequately abated. For planned demolitions, the passed PAV Report must be publicly available online 3 days prior to the demolition of the structure. Buildings that have been issued an Emergency Demolition Order by the Building Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED) are exempt from this requirement. For more information on the demolition process please refer to: https://detroitmi.gov/departments/construction-and-demolition-department/demolition-process
Commercial Demolitions

This layer has been deprecated and is no longer updated. Please reference the[ new layer] for up to date data. The Commercial Demolitions program is managed by the [Construction and Demolition Department] (CDD) and was established in 2014 to address the unique circumstances of commercial demolitions. Before entering the demolition pipeline, structures are selected by the Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) or get approval from the Detroit City Council. Structures identified for commercial demolition include vacant retail, industrial, and multifamily (4 unit and above) residential properties deemed unsuitable for stabilization and rehabilitation. This dataset provides information about structures as they move through the demolition process. It includes where the structures are located, along with key dates, costs, and the different stages of the demolition process. Data is pulled directly from the City of Detroit’s Salesforce CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system daily and include structures that are in the demolition pipeline, under contract for demolition, and that have been demolished. The goals of the commercial demolition program are to contribute to the health, environment, and beauty of Detroit by tackling commercial blight and preparing previously blighted properties for new uses and investment. Beginning in 2022, the main source of funding for the commercial demolition program has been the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act).
Parcels (Current)

The Parcels data set from the City of Detroit Office of the Assessor is updated daily with land parcel data for all properties within the City of Detroit. Records in this data set describe the assessed values, rights, ownership interests, most recent sales data, physical descriptions, and addresses associated with each parcel. Parcels are distinguished from lots or plots of land in that property ownership rights are the fundamental units of division between parcels. The graphic depiction of land parcels represents real property ownership within the City for both privately and publicly owned properties. Data maintenance note: Databases used by the Office of the Assessor for parcels data are checked for updates daily. If an update is detected, the published Parcels dataset is then updated to reflect the most recent data available. Similarly, Zoning data provided by the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department (BSEED) Zoning Division is checked for updates daily. If any updates are available, values in the Zoning field are updated to reflect the most recent zoning data available. The "Data Updated" date for the Parcels dataset reflects the most recent date any data updates were detected and incorporated into the Parcels dataset. The GIS / Land Records Maintenance Division in the Office of the Assessor manages the data integrity of the parcel file.
DDOT Bus Routes

This feature layer consists of polylines that represent Detroit Department of Transportation's (DDOT's) public service fixed bus routes. The dataset includes the names, numbers, directions, orientations, total miles, frequencies, spans, operation days, and brief descriptions of areas/streets served for each route in the system. Frequency varies by route but is separated into base (time between peaks), peak, and night. Peak refers to the busiest hours in the AM (typically 6-9) and PM (typically 3-6) where frequency is often increased. The number following the type of frequency or "span" refers to the day type: 1 for weekday, 6 for Saturday, and 7 for Sunday. For example, BaseFreq1 refers to Weekday Base Frequency, while NightFreq6 refers to Saturday Night Frequency. This shapefile was updated to reflect changes made for the June 2026 run pick.

Detroit Slow Streets

A slow street is a residential street with some form of traffic calming, such as speed cushions and signage to help you access key destinations such as parks and schools within your neighborhood. The goal is to create a low-stress, safe network of streets for walking, biking, scootering, etc. to explore Detroit's neighborhoods. Slow Streets have the ability to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety, as they allow for non-motorized users to share the roadway space with vehicles traveling at low speeds. They can also be used to enhance transportation equity by providing a safe space for all people, no matter their ability, to navigate neighborhood streets and access key destinations, such as restaurants, grocery or convenience stores, and educational or recreation facilities.

This map is for planning and public information purposes only. The inclusion of a greenway does not indicate City of Detroit ownership or responsibility. The city of Detroit defines greenways as: “A network of combined bicycle and pedestrian facilities that serves recreation, transportation, and environmental functions. Greenways aim to create connections between destinations and communities, include green elements like trees, meadows, and green stormwater infrastructure, and exemplify a unique place-based identity.” Each row in the dataset represents one segment of a greenway, so a single greenway may span multiple rows.
Completed Residential Demolitions

This layer has been deprecated and is no longer updated. Please reference the[ new layer] for up to date data. The Completed Residential Demolitions dataset provides records for demolitions contracted on behalf of City of Detroit completed between January 2014 and the present, and is provided by the Construction and Demolition Department (CDD) with the goal of creating more transparency regarding demolitions. Each row in the dataset provides information about a building or other structure that was demolished, including its location, the name of the business that performed the demolition, the price charged. date completed, whether the demolition cost was covered by Federal Hardest Hit Funds, and whether it was designated an emergency demolition. Whether a structure had a commercial or residential use prior to demolition is indicated in the "Commercial" field. More information about the demolition process is available from the [Construction and Demolition Department]. [View visualizations of the Completed Residential Demolitions data] on the Analytics Hub.
Blight Tickets

Blight Tickets are issued by city inspectors, police officers, and other city officials with the power to investigate and cite code violations. Blight Tickets are adjudicated as civil cases by the [Department of Administrative Hearings (DAH)], an independent quasi-judicial department established in January 2005 as a major component of the City's efforts to address blight. This dataset largely models the [Blight Violation Case History system], which is administered by DAH and integrates data from departments that issue, process, and adjudicate blight violations. Blight tickets that are issued may be subsequently voided by the ticket writing department for various reasons. [Property maintenance codes are described in Article 15 of the Detroit City Code]. Article 15, Section 10 defines violations of Article 15 as blight violations, and Section 11 contains a schedule of civil fines assessed for specified violations. Blight Violations data is updated once daily. [Click here] for the Analytics Hub visualization of Blight Violations.
