Tips for Permit Techs

[Karah]

If you could give any advice or tips for another Permit Tech that you have found to be something that makes every day work easier or more efficient, would you drop it in the comment below? I'm always looking for easier or more efficient ways to handle our daily tasks or just something to make the office run smoother.

Plan your day when you first get in. Block time out on your calendar to focus on tasks. Sometimes permitting is heavy, sometimes it's light...but we all have other things that we do that are just as important...
Also, never stop learning; take some time out of the day to brush off the code books. Learn from others. If you manage your departments website, look at other jurisdictions websites for ideas on what could make your pages better.
