This is an example. We built it from the dates you typed. We take your applied date as the day the county got a complete application. We do not check it. A written waiver is recorded on the permit when you mark one, and a waived permit is never reported as late.

With no scenario chosen, the clock uses the 30-business-day default. The new 5-day tier takes effect July 1, 2026, but our source does not settle whether it covers permits already pending, so confirm before applying it to a specific permit.
The clock runs, pauses, or stops with the permit status.
Submitted or in review
The clock starts once your team enters the applied date.
Corrections
The clock pauses. A fresh clock after corrections is not modeled.
Decided or later
Approved, issued, inspections, finaled, expired, or void stops the clock.
5 business days on the new HB 803 tier
Say it is single-trade work under $15,000 on a house that already stands. If a local plans reviewer looks at it, the shot clock is five business days.
HB 803 added this tier on top of the existing 553.792 deadlines. Knowing which tier a permit sits on is the difference between waiting and following up.
