Reminder – Beat the End-of-Year Rush

As anticipated, we are seeing an increase in activity this month as people hustle to get their building permits in before the Accessible Business Entrance program deadline on December 31 and the code cycle update goes into effect on January 1.

We strongly encourage you to submit your applications by December 15. Late permit applications may be subject to the 2023 building codes.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership.
