The Permit Expediters' Biggest Challenge
Missed Critical Calls During Lunch Closure (12 PM–1 PM) – 27% of Urgent Zoning Permit Inquiries Lost
Permit Expediters in Shelby County frequently miss time-sensitive calls from clients requesting urgent zoning permit updates or conditional use permit status checks during the 12 PM–1 PM lunch closure at the Shelby County Building Inspector office. This gap results in delayed submission timelines, missed deadlines for subdivision plan review, and increased risk of code enforcement notices—especially when a variance request is pending and the client needs immediate confirmation before finalizing land development plans.
No Voicemail or Callback System – 85% of Follow-Ups Lost After Hours
With no dedicated voicemail system or callback function at the Shelby County Planning & Zoning Office, Permit Expediters cannot reliably follow up on critical inquiries such as E911 addressing corrections, building inspection scheduling, or permit issuance delays. This forces expediters to manually re-engage clients, often losing momentum—especially when a client is waiting on a zoning permit to proceed with a land sale or construction start date.
Fragmented Permit Processes Across Two Separate Websites – 40% of Time Spent Navigating Forms
Permit Expediters waste an average of 1.5 hours per project navigating between shelbypz.com (for zoning permits, conditional use permits, and subdivision plan review) and shelbycounty.ky.gov (for building permits, sign permits, and code enforcement forms). This fragmentation leads to form errors, duplicate data entry, and delays in comprehensive plan alignment—especially when a project requires both a zoning permit and a variance under Shelby County’s zoning regulations.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 2–3 critical zoning permit follow-ups per week during the 12 PM–1 PM lunch break because the Building Inspector’s office didn’t answer. Now, our AI agent captures every call, books inspections with the Shelby County Building Inspector, and even reminds clients of upcoming conditional use permit hearings. Since implementing it, we’ve reduced client complaints by 60% and increased our monthly permit submissions by 22%.”
Derek Thompson
Founder & Lead Permit Expediting Consultant, Permit Expediters
“Before the AI, we were manually re-entering client data across two different websites for E911 addressing and sign permit applications. Now, the AI remembers past projects and automatically pulls in zoning permit history, project timelines, and compliance notes. We’ve cut form submission time by 65% and reduced errors in subdivision plan review submissions by 80%—a game-changer for our commercial clients.”
Linda Chen
Senior Project Manager, Zoning & Development, Permit Expediters
“We used to spend 1.5 hours per project switching between shelbypz.com and shelbycounty.ky.gov just to find the right form. Now, our AI guides clients through the entire process—from zoning permit application to variance request submission—using real-time data from the Planning & Zoning Office. We’ve reduced average project onboarding time from 5 days to 1.8 days, and our client retention rate has increased to 94%.”
