*** The Building Services Department continues to experience a high volume of permit and inspection requests as our community continues to make repairs following the devastating derecho. Our staff is working hard to process permits as quickly as possible. Due to the high volume of permits currently being received, please expect and plan for delays. The anticipated timeframe for the plan review process has also been extended. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding and patience.***
