How long does it take to receive a permit?
Upon receipt of a permit application and/or plans, the plan review staff will review the information for technical content and completeness. After determining that all necessary information has been supplied, approval for the issuance of the permit will be authorized and the applicant will be notified that the permit is ready to be purchased and picked up.

The review process may take only a few minutes to review the application for a single trade mechanical or electrical permit, and as long as one to ten working days for review of building construction plans for decks, porches, additions, and new homes depending on work load. In every case the review time will be as short as possible.
