DeKalb planning cites five-day business, six-day land-development internal turnaround targets
Summary
Director Julianne Njoku told attendees the department is pursuing internal review teams and public tracking and said current internal targets are five days for business permitting and six days for land-development permitting.
During the public Q&A, a participant asked whether the county has goals or public metrics for permit turnaround times. Njoku responded that the department is moving toward stronger internal review teams and transparency tools to improve turnaround times and public tracking.
She stated current internal targets: "Right now, we are a 5 day turnaround time for business permitting and a 6 day for land development permitting as it stands internally." Njoku emphasized that permit processing is collaborative across agencies and that actual timelines vary by project type and required reviews, but said the new e-permitting system will allow applicants to follow progress more closely.
