• A Permit Technician or Plans Examiner will go over your application packet to ensure that it is complete.  Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

• Permitting staff will also try to clarify any issues that arise during the brief completeness review so that your application can be processed as quickly as possible.

• Some applications that are for simple projects can be issued over the counter, while you wait. Others will require review by a Plans Examiner.
• When your plans have been approved (usually within 2-4 weeks), you will be notified.
• Your permit approval is valid for 180 days.  You may ask for your permit at any time during the period.
• Payment for permits is required in full at the time the permit is issued.
