Subdivision counts are for geographic navigation, not a count of municipalities with verified permit coverage.

What coverage actually means

1. Region listed

We can identify the region and its subdivisions. No local permit conclusion is implied.

2. Official source discovered

A government reference is available. Monitoring does not validate legal applicability.

3. Local guide reviewed

Only city and project combinations with reviewed official evidence can show detailed guidance.
