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.

Or Longer. Come on Escambia County the permits should be FREE! After all these poople are investing a lifetime to paying outrageous taxes for the rest of their life anyway. Encourge them do not discourge. It’s all about the money anyway.
So in other words, they will revision you to death and its going to take just as long.
