<br />In the License & Permits category. the City is expecting to realize an increase of 17.76% over its original projection,
<br />which is caused by an increase in the number of building and other building related permits. Building permit
<br />issuance appears to have returned to pre 1985 levels. It was in 1985 when the economy in the Houston area began
<br />a down turn and building activity slowed tremendously.
