TIL the county permit office works on their own timeline, not yours
Spent 3 weeks waiting on a simple grading permit for a driveway job in Austin. Called every Monday. Got told 'still in review' each time. Finally drove down there and stood at the counter. Found out my application was sitting in a pile because the reviewer was on vacation for 10 days. Total wait was 5 weeks for a standard residential permit. My crew sat idle for 12 days because of it. Has anyone else had to physically show up to get things moving with their local office?
