Building Permit

Elk Grove sits between the two models this corpus has found. Like Rancho Cucamonga it requires electronic submittal - "the Building Division requires electronic submittals for permit applications and related documents" - but unlike Rancho Cucamonga it keeps a staffed five-day public counter for everything else.
