Watch your permits in progress
December 10, 2007 at 8:14 am , by Jenel Looney
The city of Georgetown has an excellent website, full of useful functionality. One of my favorite features is that the site allows the public to track the status of residential permits. I discovered this while we were living overseas and our home was being built here in Georgetown. We were able to see which permits had been applied for by our contractors, and whether the city had approved them yet. This is also great for curiosity’s sake - don’t you want to know who in your neighborhood is planning to put in a pool, just because it’s fun to know?
You can track commercial permits, as well. It’s a great way to find out what new businesses are coming to town. For example, one recent permit that came up when I went to the site today was for a sign at 1019 W. University, Suite D-11. I clicked on Complete History, and learned that Eyemasters is coming to town. Sephora also has a permit in progress, so if you’re into spa products, keep an eye out for them.
