AI Summary

  • Local governments must notify applicants within 3 calendar days (reduced from 10 days) if additional information is needed to complete a building permit application; failure to provide timely notice results in the application being automatically deemed complete and sufficient
  • The number of times a local government may request additional information from a permit applicant is reduced from three to two, and review timeframes for additional information are shortened to 9 calendar days
  • Single-family or two-family dwellings and townhomes within an already-approved master plan community receive expedited timelines, including 1 calendar day for completeness review, 5 calendar days for sufficiency review, and automatic approval if deadlines are missed
  • When an owner or contractor retains a private provider for plans review or inspection services, the local jurisdiction must reduce the permit fee by 75 percent, replacing the previous variable reduction based on actual cost savings
  • Local governments that miss any prescribed deadline must reduce the building permit fee by 10 percent for each calendar day the deadline is exceeded, and local ordinance timeframes apply only if they are more stringent than those prescribed in the bill
