The times are displayed correctly as Central time when viewing the data in the City's open information portal. Upon downloading or exporting the data, any date/time columns are converted to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This results in the times getting converted to of either 5 hours (during Daylight savings time) or 6 hours (for Standard time) ahead of our Central time. To correct this issue, determine if it is Standard time or Daylight Savings time. Central Daylight Time (CDT) runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Central Standard Time (CST) is the remainder of the year. If it is CDT, subtract 5 hours from UTC time and if it is CST, then subtract 6 hours. This issue comes from the ESRI platform and is unable to be modified at this time.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/cb618c6b5f8f46b696674e74a3fb5b2d_0engCity of Saint Paul GIS DataPublicBuilding Permits Dataset [Minnesota--Saint Paul]Web servicesMinnesota--Saint PaulMinnesotaLast Modified: 2025-07-01
