FREE WEBINAR FOR BUILDING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT LEADERS

New Permit Laws Are Coming. Is Your Team Ready?

States are setting permit deadlines, and when departments miss them, applicants can bring in outside reviewers.

Watch this free session to understand what's changing, what it means for your team, and how to stay in control of your process.

Ready to get ahead of new permitting requirements?

What You’ll Learn

Know when your authority is at risk

See when applicants gain the right to bring in a private reviewer (and what your team can do about it).

Meet tighter timelines without adding headcount

Identify where reviews slow down and what adjustments keep your department moving on its own terms.

Prepare before these laws reach your state

Walk through a practical framework for building readiness with the team you already have.

If a permit application came in today, how confident are you in your department’s turnaround time?

California, for example, already gives applicants the legal right to bring in a private reviewer when a department misses a 30-day plan check window.

This law isn't unique to California — the same pressure exists in nearly every state.

Building departments that prepare now will be the ones that stay in control as these laws arrive.

WATCH NOW

Private review isn't a threat. Here's why.

"Private plan review providers have been an integral part of local government jurisdictions in California for more than 50 years. This is not a new or disruptive concept. The goal is to allow the building official to maintain control and quality while meeting the state's mandates for speed."
