Research approach

  • Begin with official government, code, safety-authority and municipal sources.
  • Avoid presenting fee schedules or processing times as permanent.
  • Separate building permits from zoning, development and trade approvals.
  • Use examples to explain questions, not to decide an individual case.
  • Display a review date and direct readers back to the responsible authority.
