Among the 139 most recent construction filings in Canton, 2 are for residential communities — amenity centers, subdivision sections, streetscapes, parks and apartment buildings — naming COTTAGES AT BURNETT TRAIL, Burnett Trail Apartments. Texas accessibility (TABS) registration covers the shared, public and multifamily buildings in a new community, not private single-family houses, so these filings show where new neighborhoods are being built out, often before homes there are listed for sale.

Individual houses are permitted by the city, not registered with the state. See Canton home builders for the companies building there.

Each entry keeps the project name, declared value, owner and registration date exactly as filed, which is why a project can appear here months before any visible work starts on site.

Figures on this page are counted from the Canton filings themselves and change as new records are registered. How Zabalist sources Texas construction records.
