The "Black Hole" of Permitting

Once you submit a permit application, it often enters a black hole. Weeks go by with no update. Meanwhile, you are paying interest on the land loan.

Delays are often caused by simple communication breakdowns—a missing signature or an unreturned voicemail. Staying on top of the permitting office requires persistent, polite follow-up.

Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease

City officials are overworked. Your file will sit on the bottom of the stack unless you nudge them. But you don't have time to call the planning department every morning at 9 AM.

Automating the Nudge

Use an AI Phone Receptionist to handle inbound calls from the city, ensuring you never miss a request for more info. Use Growth Automations to schedule automated email check-ins with your permit expeditor or the city clerk. "Just checking status on App #12345." Consistency moves files.
