When it comes to giving housing permits, the United States has stringent policies. However, permitting rules are changing for good. Washington state is tackling its housing crisis with Senate Bill 5290. The bill was unanimously passed recently. The bill tackles permitting rules for new homes and renovations by improving processing timelines.
Permit delays are usually a reason for an increase in cost. On average, the permitting process adds 6.5 months and $31,375 for the building project. The bill has included grants and accountability for shorter timelines. However, the bill will not be implemented until 2025.
