1) The accelerated Building Department plan check turn-around goal is one week from submittal date (7 business days). Accelerated service is not always available and does not cover all Division reviews.

2) Normal, non-accelerated plan check turn-around goal is 12 business days.

3) The Community Development Department counter closes earlier on some days to allow staff to conduct staff meetings.

4) Incoming phone calls may go directly to voicemail at hours of peak demand. Customers are encouraged to leave a message and Community Development staff will return your call as soon as possible. Please look through our web pages, as we have posted many commonly requested documents and forms. To research permits, click here.

5) If you are calling to confirm your scheduled inspection, you must call prior to 8:00 a.m. Important information about inspection time estimates.

6) If you have received a notice of violation (NOV) from the Code Enforcement division, please visit the Community Development Department during the time noted on your letter OR call the phone number in the letter to make an appointment to minimize your wait time, due to reduced staffing.

7) If you have a project under review by a member of the Planning team, please make an appointment with your assigned planner to minimize your wait time. Appointments are required for submission of entitlement requests due to reduced planning staffing. See the section above for contact information to make a submission appointment.
