Building permits before final subdivision approval
Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗This rule lets the county issue a building permit before a subdivision's final approval, but only if the lot has street access, water, sewer, and other basics, and the remaining minor improvements will be finished within three months (or longer if the builder shows more time is needed). The subdivision improvements must also be bonded.
