How long does it take to get a building permit
Many permits can be issued in a matter of days or sometime hours. The time it takes to issue a permit depends on many factors. The complexity of the construction project may require many days or even weeks for Building Department review. A construction project may be subject to local zoning requirements. If a review establishes that building or zoning code provisions are not being met, revised documents may be required. An incomplete or inaccurate permit application can also cause delays. A complete permit application will either be issued or denied within 30 days of the application date in accordance with building code requirements.
