Can We PERMIT This To Happen?

Solutions amid the Crisis

?With construction booming, permitting is a mess. Projects like Scout Motors’ $2 billion EV plant and American Battery Factory’s $1.2 billion facility are stuck, and it's not just them—it’s everyone from big companies to local contractors in roofing, solar, HVAC, pools, and generators who are feeling the heat.

The Real Pain Points:

?In places like Citrus County, new online permitting processes are causing uproar. It’s meant to be modern and efficient, but builders are finding it to be more of a disaster than a solution.

The county’s new online portal is slow, with documents that can’t be downloaded easily, and it's adding more hurdles rather than removing them.

?The stats speak volumes—since the debut of this new system, out of 3,471 permits applied for, only 2,649 have been issued. And builders are frustrated—Bruce Kaufman of Bruce Kaufman Construction says it doesn’t work, and the situation was ‘premature.’

?

The Ripple Effects:

?This isn’t about just delays. It’s about livelihoods being affected and businesses struggling to start and finish jobs. It’s about contractors and consumers paying on construction loans and not seeing progress.

The Chamber of Commerce has been flooded with complaints about delays impacting jobs and loan draws. Josh Wooten from the Chamber remarked, “Consumers are not getting their jobs done in a timely manner.”
