The request pertains to both new and active residential and commercial building permits issued from January 1, 2023, up until the present day.
The requested information includes specific details such as the type of permit, date issued, fee paid, requester's name, address of the property in question, and contractor's name. This information is vital for us to provide our readers with a transparent view of local development activities.
We believe that access to public records is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we consider ourselves eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
