Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Faster home permits and automatic approval
Local governments must tell you within 10 business days if your home permit application is complete, and what is missing. Once complete, they must approve or deny it within 30 calendar days. The clock pauses while they wait for your clarifications or for required state or federal approvals. You and the government can agree in writing to extend the deadline. If denied, they must send written reasons within 7 days. If they miss the deadline, your completed application is approved the next day unless you agreed to extend. You still must pass all safety and code inspections before getting a certificate of occupancy.
10% permit fee cut for late changes
If the government adds new permit conditions after your application is approved, it must cut your application fees by 10%. This does not apply when the new rules are needed because of an unanticipated condition on the property. The 10% savings is based on your original fee amount.
Which home projects the deadlines cover
These rules cover counties, cities, towns, and their planning commissions that adopted the International Residential Code. They apply to permits for one- or two‑unit homes or townhouses up to three stories, with each unit 3,000 square feet or less. Accessory structures can be up to three stories. The project must follow the most recent code version adopted by the local government. The law starts July 1, 2026 and applies to applications filed on or after that date.
