2. Could you recommend a contractor?

We are unable to recommend or guide consumers in their choice of a contractor because of our legal obligation as Licensed Code Enforcement Professionals.

3. How long will it take to get my permit?

If your construction permit requires a zoning permit, the Zoning Officer has 10 days to complete his review. A construction permits must be reviewed within 20 days. If more information is required for any of these reviews, the process starts over as soon as the required information is received.
