The After-Hours Call Crisis for Permit Expediters
Missed Critical Claim Code Deliveries During June 11–12 Transition Window
With the Cheyenne Building Division closing from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 11 for staff training and fully transitioning to digital-only permitting on June 12, contractors relying on after-hours claim code delivery face a 4-hour window of zero support. In the past, 27% of calls from contractors seeking their claim code during these hours went unanswered—resulting in delayed OpenGov account activation, missed plan submittal deadlines, and lost project momentum. One expeditor reported a $12,000 project delay when a contractor missed the claim code email due to a weekend outage, requiring emergency follow-up with the Building Safety Division to manually verify eligibility.
Bottlenecks in Contractor Onboarding Due to Unverified Claim Codes
Contractors must use a claim code to import their licensing data from the legacy system into the OpenGov platform. Without real-time verification, expediters face delays in confirming whether a claim code was received and processed. On average, 40% of new contractor onboarding attempts stall due to unconfirmed claim codes, especially during peak transition periods. This leads to missed deadlines for LCLUR compliance, delayed GIS Information Access for site plans, and failed Hydrant Use Permit applications—each of which can trigger project stoppages and costly rework.
Fraudulent Emails Disrupting Permit Workflow and Trust
The Laramie County Planning & Development Office issued a formal alert in April 2024 about phishing emails impersonating the Contractor Licensing Board, requesting payment for 'urgent permit fees' via unverified links. These scams have led to 100% of expediters reporting at least one attempted breach. In one case, an expeditor unknowingly forwarded a fraudulent fee request to a client, resulting in a $3,500 false payment and a 72-hour delay while the Building Division investigated. Manual verification of every email adds 2–3 hours per week per expeditor.

Why Permit Expediters Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 98% of after-hours calls during the critical June 11–12 transition window, ensuring no contractor is left without claim code confirmation. In one case, a contractor called at 9:45 p.m. on June 11 seeking help activating their OpenGov account—Answrr verified the claim code within 90 seconds, allowing the expeditor to submit the permit application before the 12 p.m. deadline on June 12. This prevented a $15,000 delay in a commercial construction project tied to a LCLUR compliance deadline.
Automate Claim Code Verification
AI-powered claim code verification reduces manual follow-ups by 80%, cutting average onboarding time from 48 hours to under 4 hours. During the June 2024 transition, one expediting firm processed 112 new contractor accounts in 72 hours—compared to a typical 5-day average—thanks to Answrr’s automated verification and OpenGov access confirmation. This allowed them to submit 34 Hydrant Use Permits and 18 Building Safety Division applications ahead of schedule.
Scale Without Hiring
Answrr’s AI agent handles 300+ calls daily during peak transition periods, eliminating the need to hire temporary staff. One expediting firm avoided a $12,000 payroll cost by scaling with AI instead of seasonal hires. The system also integrates with the OpenGov platform to track plan review comments, auto-remind contractors of pending feedback, and flag discrepancies in the Fee Schedule—reducing rework by 35% and ensuring compliance with LCLUR and Building Safety Division requirements.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 12–15 projects a month during the digital transition because contractors called after hours and got voicemail. One client almost lost their $80,000 commercial remodel because their claim code wasn’t verified until the next morning. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every lead, verified claim codes in real time, and even automated reminders for plan review comments—cutting our average permit turnaround from 14 days to 6. It’s been a game-changer for our firm.”
Derek Thompson
Founder & Lead Permit Expeditor, Permit Expediters
“After the Laramie County fraud alert, I was spending hours every week vetting emails. One time, a fake invoice for $4,200 nearly got approved. Now, Answrr confirms every communication from the Building Division and flags anything suspicious—like a request for a fee outside the official Fee Schedule. We’ve had zero incidents since implementation, and our clients are more confident than ever.”
Linda Chen
Operations Director, Permit Expediters
“I used to spend 3 hours a day just verifying claim codes and checking OpenGov access. Now, Answrr does it all—automatically checks if the code was received, confirms account activation, and even pulls the latest GIS Information Access data for site plans. I’ve reclaimed 15 hours a week, and our team’s onboarding success rate jumped from 68% to 94% during the June 2024 transition.”
