The new permit process for driveway jobs adds a whole day of waiting
Back in the day, we'd start at dawn and be done by noon. Now I spend half the morning on the phone with the city.

Check the permit portal online instead of calling. They post the wait times and you can just upload your forms. It cuts out most of the phone tag.

Yeah, being on hold with the city is the worst. Last time I tried to get a simple fence permit, I had to call three different offices just to find out who to talk to. What's the longest you've been stuck on hold?

City hold times are a master class in patience. Once waited so long my phone battery died twice. Started recognizing the hold music as old pop hits. Pretty sure I could have built the fence myself in less time. Still waiting for a callback from 2019, honestly.
