The “Quick Service Permit Review” is an early service that provides residents with a quick permit review for residential roofs, fences, slabs, driveways, shutters, etc. The process coordinates a team of permit clerks, zoning examiners and structural plan reviewers. The team reviews all pertinent documents and drawings and is able to issue permits on the spot. This allows customers to receive permits immediately instead of going through the normal process which takes about a week.
