Community Development reports nearly $12 million in permit valuation since last report; staffing updates noted
Summary
Jefferson County Community Development reported 280 permits since the prior report with a total valuation near $11.75 million, about 86% residential; staff described permit type breakdown and ongoing recruitment for inspector positions.
Derek Payne, Community Development director, told commissioners the department issued about 280 permits since the last report with a combined valuation of roughly $11.75 million. He said about 86% of permits were residential and the largest permit category by count was residential electrical work; higher valuation came from new construction and remodels.
Payne said the front office had handled nearly 2,000 phone calls since Aug. 1 and that the department is actively recruiting for building‑inspector and planning‑manager positions, with interviews and offers in process. Commissioners asked about phone‑volume breakdowns and staffing for plan review and inspection.
