IF I COULD GIVE STARS TO AN EMPLOYEE 5 STARS IT WOULD BE KAREN COMER ! THAT LADY IS AN AMAZING EMPLOYEE AND HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY. EVERYONE ELSE IS TERRIBLE. THEY BARELY ANSWER THEIR PHONE, AND IF THEY DO THEY NEVER CAN HELP. EDIT 9/20/33 - THE NEW PLUMBING PERMIT OFFICER SHOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN HIS JOB HERE. HE IS INCREDIBILY RUDE, TRIES TO PUSH HIS HOWEVER MANY YEARS HE HAS DONE THIS IN YOUR FACE. HE WANTS THE APPLICATION DONE HIS WAY OTHER THAN THE WAY IT HAS BEEN DONE SINCE THEY MOVED TO ONLINE. IF IT ISN'T DONE HIS WAY HE WILL JUST CANCEL THE PERMIT INSTEAD OF CALLING ONCE HE CATCHES SOMETHING. HE WILL NOT LET YOU SPEAK, YOU CAN ONLY LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. FIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the most complacent government workers. The code enforcement and permits is a joke. You can build Noah's Ark in your backyard. The county do not care 😒. 😒

I went to the Marriage license department and I was given a form by a lady who asked me to fill it out and wait to be called. Well I waited and it looks like nobody remembered I was there then this guy passed by and I asked if they were on break and he said no. He offered to help me get the paper work I needed and he was SUPER helpful. I noticed from his name plate that his name was Jonathan Chester and he did display a lot of professionalism and high sense of integrity as he does his job and I wish a lot of govt employees I have met are like him. I got my license in less than 10 minutes and he took time to advise me on next steps that were required.

Questions & Answers

Where do I find zoning laws governing homeless shelters to determine max occupancy?

Karla Schaefer | Feb 14, 2022
D i | Feb 14, 2022

Max occupancy would be determined by the square footage and amenities. Zoning would probably just let you know that a shelter or such is allowed in the area. Check with the fire marshal for specifics on occupancy.

Depends on what type of permit and whether or not you have all of your paperwork in order. My fire protection permits take 2-3 week's for review and I drop off 15-30 plans and permits a week.
