• Residential Construction Permits require an average of 15-30 working days for approval or response.

• Commercial Construction Permits require an average of 15-30 working days for approval.

• Fire System Permits (Alarms, Sprinklers, etc.) require an average of 7 working days for approval.

• Certain permits may be issued while you wait or within 3 days if plan review is required.
