Permit review process: Different projects require different types of review & approval. Easy Permits (EPP) are generally approved the day of application. Standard Plan Reviews (SPR) and Developer Services (DS), take longer. Zoning approval needed: Most projects require approval from the Zoning Administrator.
Residential and commercial construction permits generally take about two to three weeks to review once the required information has been submitted and there are no unusual circumstances. Unusual circumstances can lengthen this time.
