Factors affecting construction permit issuance time

Construction permit time can be affected by many factors, including:

  • Completeness and validity of documents: Complete and valid documents will help the appraisal process take place quickly. On the contrary, incomplete or inaccurate records will lead to requests for additions, corrections, and extension of the licensing period.
  • Type of construction: Licensing time for different types of construction will be different. For example, the licensing time for individual houses in urban areas will usually be longer than the licensing time for rural houses.
  • Construction location: Construction location also affects licensing time. For construction projects in central, densely populated areas, appraisal and consultation with relevant agencies may take more time.
  • Capacity of the licensing agency: The capacity and working efficiency of the licensing agency are also factors that affect licensing time.
  • Other objective factors: Objective factors such as natural disasters, epidemics, and changes in legal policies can also affect the construction permit time.
