Permit Coord. vs Permit Approval (What’s the Difference?)

---

 How Permit Coordination Fits Into the Review Process 

Permit coordination supports the administrative and documentation steps required for agency review. It involves preparing, organizing, submitting, and updating materials so they can be evaluated by the authority having jurisdiction.

Coordinated submittals help reduce delays caused by missing or inconsistent information, but they do not determine review outcomes. Agencies retain full discretion to approve, condition, or deny permits based on their standards and findings. 

Public Ready provides upstream coordination and documentation support. Final permit decisions, approvals, and enforcement actions are issued by the reviewing authority. Requirements and timelines vary by jurisdiction.
