The pilot ‘fast lane’ for permits is part of a bundle of modernization efforts for Pittsburg’s permitting process.
Pittsburg is introducing several modernization efforts aimed at speeding up the city’s permitting process. Completed initiatives include virtual inspections for low-risk projects, and a pilot “fast lane” for routine permits titled "EZ Permits."
Smart Cites Drive reports:
“This first phase of improvements will help applicants spend less time waiting and more time getting projects done,” [Pittsburg Mayor Corey O’Connor] said in a news release. “People doing routine home improvements used to have to wait over a week to get their permit and now will get that permit in as little as one business day.”
Pittsburg also launched a permit tracker that allows residents to track the status of their application. “The next phases of the mayor’s permit reform plan target the review and inspection and completion stages,” Ryan Kushner writes for Smart Cities Dive.
