How long does a building permit take to process?
The building office legally has 20 business days after submittal to approve or deny a permit. This process does not normally take this long unless there are incompletions with the application. If there are comments from any of the subcode officials these will be communicated promptly to the applicant or contractor of record.
Once the permit is approved the applicant will receive a phone call to pick up and pay for the permit. The permit will be issued when and only when the permit is paid for. After payment is received, the project may commence.
