Understanding Permitting Deadlines: Common Misconceptions and Key Considerations

July 8, 2024

There are common misconceptions about the permitting process, especially regarding permit expediting and deadlines. Contrary to popular belief, there isn’t a person with a magic sprint who can jump the line and beat the processing grace periods necessary for permit applications. These timelines are set into place to offset file backlog and manage the variety and multitude of submissions. Whether permitting offices require 30, 60, 90 days to process, there are also other factors to consider when submitting an application. It is important to submit with a buffer of time because of these factors.

Key Factors to Consider for Permit Applications:

Activation Date and Holidays:

When starting your process, consider the days leading up to your activation date. Holidays between the start of your process and your deadline can result in long vacation days or extended weekends. This can lengthen your processing time.

Resubmissions and Revisions:

Another factor might be having to resubmit items like engineering drawings or site layouts that may need a revision(s). This can set back the process, causing major headaches when you’re already on a tight timeline. That’s where we come in.
