OP, your builder should have handled that. Ours did. He was responsible for submission of all the plans to the county. From closing to getting our building permit, it was about 3 months for us so sounds about right. Regarding your other post about enclaves, yeah we went through that as well. Places like Kensington, Chevy Chase, etc are called "towns" which essentially means they have a local government that you have to pass through before you even get to the county. In our case, we had to go through that, the HOA, [i]and[/i] the county as well so 3 passes. Luckily the HOA goes with whatever the Town wants. Those towns basically dictate what kind of house you're going to build so that it can blend in with the town vibe. [/quote]

Some builders will handle permitting and some do not.  It just depends on the builder and, crucially, depends if they have built in that particular jurisdiction before.  So much of getting permits done quickly depends on understanding the unique requirements of the particular location + having relationships at the permitting division.[/quote]
