Mason County Permit Time Improvement 

The current pandemic has brought about a remote work scramble for workplaces everywhere, including government agencies. This has led to many lessons being learned and, in some cases, improvements being made. The Mason County permit office saw a backlog of permits coming in like a perfect storm. This was due, in part, to the increase in remote working and average citizens having more free time to get a permit in for that deck they always wanted.

Over the past year, Olympia Master Builders, along with their Mason County Chapter, has been working with local elected and building officials in order to improve permit times. On April 1st, 2021 the OMB Mason County Chapter, along with Heidi McCutcheon from the Mason County Chamber of Commerce and Kell Rowen, the Mason County Community Development Coordinator, all sat down for a virtual meeting to work out the case of backlogs.
