If you really need to push your project and don't mind some additional costs, you can contract with some county divisions for expedited review.

The three sections where this is most common are Building, Development Engineering, and Utilities.

Development Engineering offers both overtime and third party review programs. Application for these programs can be made as permit applications are submitted or any time after that. For more information, call (253) 798-3745.

The Utilities Department offers overtime review only. A request can be made any time after applications are submitted. Just call (253) 798-4050.

Overtime contracts are also available for Building Code review. Call the Plans Examiner Supervisor at (253) 798-7218.
