Escambia County Makes Building Permit Process Faster — Or It’s Free

February 5, 2011

Friday, Escambia County’s Building Inspections Division kicked off a new streamlined process for obtaining a new single-family home permit called “3 or It’s Free”.

The new process identifies five steps to a permit and it includes a guarantee on the turnaround time.  The Building Inspections Division  is pledging to have a response to the applicant within three business days after the application package has been reviewed, logged into the system and a building permit number has been assigned to the application — or the permit is free.

A response from the Building Inspections Division is defined as either the acceptance for a permit or notification that revisions need to be made to the application before a permit can be issued.  If revisions are required, the turnaround clock will reset to another three business days.
