Hello Gabriel, Erin and Chelsea
I am reaching out to you for a couple of things-
Is someone taking vacation? I only ask because the appointment calendar for new development projects is booked out over 2 weeks.
It looks like the first available appointment is December 2nd?
If your office is having a huge surge in building permit intakes at the moment- Do you have a back up plan for a second employee to take in building permits?
In previous years, if there were no appointments available, previous management would make a second employee at Jefferson Co DCD take in building permits so Citizens, contractors, designers
did not have to wait to submit new development projects?
Does Jefferson Co DCD currently have any type of plan to support the Permit Technician and open up more intake appointments on your calendar? Or move to electric submittal via the permit
portal?
Last question- What is the County's future plan for opening up the permit portal and allowing citizens to submit via the permit portal, vs. having to make an appointment in office
to submit said new development project?
Currently Jefferson Co DCD is the only office that makes citizens have an appointment to submit a new development project- Clallam Co., Kitsap, City of PT, City of Sequim- none of
them make you have an appointment to submit a new development project. They all utilize the permit portal, and make us apply via the permit portal? What is Jefferson Co DCD's future
plan?
Is there any way I can get in to submit a new development project before 12/2/2025?
I thank you all for your help and thank you in advance for your assistance and for sharing information on what Jefferson Co DCD future plan is, and when the permit portal will allow
us to submit via the new permit portal vs. having to make an appointment to submit new development projects?
Thank you for your time and thank you in advance for sharing what Jefferson Co DCD current timeline is for the new permit portal to be up and running completely and allow citizens to
apply via the permit portal, vs having to make an appointment to submit.
Respectfully
