The land use program is experiencing limited staffing at this time. As a result, standard response times typically 24-48 hours, may be delayed. Expect to hear from staff within one week. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

To ensure urgent matters and statutory requirements are addressed promptly, inquiries and casework are being prioritized in the following order:

  1. Imminent health hazards
  2. Legal deadlines and time-sensitive legal matters
  3. Construction inspection requests
  4. All other inquiries, which will be addressed in the order they are received
