The county is processing interior renovation projects on a walk-thru, one day review schedule
There is no limitation to the project size, but there are a few minimum requirements:
1. Use group must remain the same.
2. No structural alterations to the building.
3. The project must be on one floor. If you have a two-floor project, you can only do the walk-thru review if you issue two separate permit sets – one for each floor.
If we can be of assistance on any of your permit issues give us a call. In the meantime we wish you all a safe and happy Holiday!
