“House Bill 14 only goes into effect if we miss our performance goals,” Espinoza said later in the meeting.
Espinoza said Wednesday the department has goals of ruling on permit applications for residential projects 10 days after receiving them and 15 days for commercial projects. He acknowledged there are proposed permit applications that are still in the system longer than that. Under state law, cities and counties have to decide on a plan or plat within 30 days after a proposal is filed. They also have 45 days to grant or deny a building permit application. HB 14 adds a provision that if a regulatory authority doesn’t make a decision on an application 15 days after the state deadline, then the applicant can hire a state-licensed engineer, a credentialed employee who works for the city who blew the deadline, or one who works from another city to do the review.
