  • The first initial plan review is as long as 2 to 4 weeks depending on volume which could shorten or lengthen the time, this excludes weekends and Holidays.

  • An average time for the first review for new structures, additions, interior remodel, etc... generally 1 to 2 weeks
  • Minor projects such as: basement finish, decks, patio covers, etc... may only be 1 to 5 working days depending on complexity of project
