Construction-ready plans for non-complex commercial and residential projects are reviewed by dedicated county staff on a first-come, first-serve basis. The speed at which a plan is reviewed is commensurate with the number of plans submitted at any given time.
Current review times are available online.
To be accepted into the Fast Track program, submitted work is expected to be simple in non-complicated spaces with non-complex trades. When applicable, Health Department reviews must be completed prior to submission to the Fast Track Program.
County plan reviewers have the authority to remove a plan from the Fast Track Program if he or she determines the complexity of the work will require more than 30 minutes to review.
