How long does it take to get a permit?

The time required to review and issue a permit varies considerably depending on the current workload in the department, the complexity of the project, and the number of questions that come up during our review.  The best way to expedite your permit review is to make sure that the application is complete and the plans fully represent compliance with our regulations and building codes.

Under law, we are required to complete review of any building permit within 30 days.
