He explained that 48 inspections were done in January and 52 were complete in February, which is a decrease from last year. DeWitt issued 18 permits in January and 19 in Feburary. He notes that the inclement weather throughout the two months did not help numbers. Forty-two permits have already been issued in March through March 14.
DeWitt’s office has taken in $3.97 million in permit fees compared to $1.58 million last year. He said there are a lot of larger projects this year.
He anticipates more inspections and permit applications once the weather breaks and the numbers could be better than last year.
