Building Permit Application Status

Plan check time frames vary by the type of project. Please do not call the office for plan check status prior to the plan check time frames listed as follows:

Project Types and Timeframes
New Commercial/Industrial/Residential projects:.........45 Calendar Days

Note: Due to the high number of plan checks we are currently experiencing extended turn around times.

Once all reviewing departments have approved, the plans will be processed for permit issuance. The final approval process includes gathering signatures from all reviewing departments and calculating the final permit fees. Please allow 1-5 working days for the final approval process after project approval.
