Can you expedite my permit?
Plans are reviewed by the type of project and the order in which they are received. Expediting a permit would necessitate delaying another permit. There are seldom instances where each applicant is not in a hurry. The best way to expedite your permit is to submit a quality set of plans with complete and detailed information.

We also offer the opportunity for architects and designers to sit down with key City staff members to discuss the project prior to plan submittal.
