So, what is your point? It's the city of KCMO is in portions of three counties, not three entire counties.
Still, this is great news for KCK (which includes the entire county of WyCo, including bonner?

Seriously, I hope they keep it up.
The point is the only reason KCMO issues so many permits is because the city streches accross 3 counties so they really can't be compared to other municipalities. The fact is KCMO has only issued 33 sf building permits in Jackson County year-to-date.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I know that most of the new owner occupied housing in the part of KCMO in Jackson County tends to be Condos due to the fact that it is a more urban area, which is as should be.
Also you are incorrect the KC HBA (homebuilders association) lists Bonner Springs and Edwardsville permits separately even though on the permit rankings they list it as KCK/Wyandotte County it only includes permits issued in KCK.
If you want to look at the entire county together then it would be 117 sf permits year-to-date and would supplant Lees Summit as 3rd top permitting entity in the metro.
Also interesting, Bonner Springs has issued 25 sf building permits year-to-date compared to KCMO's 33 in it's part of Jackson County.
