Escambia Single Family Home Building Permits Hit Record
October 8, 2011
Escambia County’s Building Inspections Division reached record numbers in September by issuing 89 new single family home permits. That was the most new single family home permits issued in one month since 2007.
On February 4, 2011, the Building Inspections Division (BID) launched a streamlined process for obtaining a new single-family dwelling permit. The process identifies five steps to receive a permit and it includes a guarantee on the turnaround time. The BID has pledged to have a response to the applicant within three business days after the application package is reviewed, logged into the system and a building permit number has been assigned to the application — or the permit is free.
“Escambia County continues to further streamline and modernize our building permitting process,” said Dale Baker, BID division manager. “In partnership with the development community, the Development Services Department has removed the delays in permitting and the inspection process while reducing expenditures and operating at an all time low in staffing levels.”
