What time frame should I allow for a building permit to be issued?
Please allow up to 10 business days for a review of the submitted building plans. If revisions are requested for further review, the revisions will be reviewed in the order they are received. Commercial plans for alterations need to be reviewed by all trade disciplines and the Fire Marshal. Therefore please allow for an additional 2 weeks. New Commercial construction reviews will take considerably longer.
