The Permit Expediters' Biggest Challenge

40%

Missed Calls from County Planning Departments During Critical Review Windows

With a 40% call abandonment rate during peak hours (8:30 AM – 12:00 PM), urgent inquiries about Zoning Permit amendments, Conditional Use Permit hearings, or E911 Addressing updates are frequently missed. For example, a last-minute request from the Board of Adjustments & Appeals regarding a variance for a commercial site can be lost if not answered within 15 minutes, delaying the entire project timeline by 7–10 business days.

85%

Delayed Follow-Ups on Subdivision Plan Review and Long-Range Planning Submissions

Without automated tracking, expediters often miss critical follow-up calls from county planners during the 30-day review window for Subdivision Plan Review or Comprehensive Plan revisions. This results in 85% of applications being delayed—especially those requiring Short-Range Planning coordination—leading to missed deadlines and potential re-submission fees.

15-20

Overwhelmed by Unstructured Voicemails from Multiple Jurisdictions

Handling 15–20 daily calls from agencies like Code Enforcement, Planning & Zoning, and the Board of Adjustments & Appeals leads to fragmented notes and missed details. For instance, a voicemail about a variance denial for a residential property may be misfiled, causing a 5-day delay in resubmitting corrected documentation, risking compliance penalties.

Why Permit Expediters Choose Answrr

Never Miss a Critical Permit Call

Answrr’s 24/7 AI voice agent captures every call—even after hours—ensuring no inquiry about a Zoning Permit, Conditional Use Permit, or E911 Addressing request goes unanswered. In one case, a client’s call about a pending Board of Adjustments & Appeals hearing at 8:45 PM was answered instantly, allowing the expeditor to submit a revised variance package before the 9:00 AM deadline the next day—saving a 14-day delay.

Automated Appointment Booking

The AI auto-books appointments with county planners, code enforcement officers, and Comprehensive Plan reviewers using real-time calendar sync. For example, a Conditional Use Permit hearing scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 AM was booked within 2 minutes of a client’s call, avoiding a 5-day wait due to manual coordination. This ensures 92% of clients receive a response within 2 hours, meeting or exceeding expectations.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing $12,000+ per month in missed opportunities because we couldn’t answer calls from the Board of Adjustments & Appeals during lunch hours. After implementing Answrr, we captured 92% of inbound calls—even after 5 PM—and now track every Zoning Permit and Conditional Use Permit request with full context. Our average approval cycle dropped from 38 to 22 days.

Handling a multi-jurisdictional project with Shelby County and adjacent townships was chaotic. I’d spend 2 hours daily transcribing voicemails about E911 Addressing and Long-Range Planning updates. Now, Answrr logs every call, books follow-ups with Code Enforcement, and even reminds me of upcoming deadlines for Comprehensive Plan revisions—cutting administrative time by 60%.
