Pittsburgh PLI Permit Timelines: Contractor Guide
Schedule the review path for the actual scope. Separate intake, agency review, corrections, issuance, and inspections instead of promising one duration for every project.
Standard review and the EZ pilot
The City's EZ pilot comparison lists standard review service levels of 15–30 business days and one business day for eligible EZ applications after information verification. These are published review standards, not measured averages or guaranteed end-to-end approval times.
Track dependencies separately
Record required zoning or other approvals, reviewer correction requests, and issuance steps with an owner and next action. Confirm current review options with PLI for the permit type. Keep ACHD plumbing review and inspections separate from the City schedule.
Official sources and next steps
Sources checked . Confirm the current requirements for your project before filing.
Keep scope, application records, owners, and inspections together with the permit handoff checklist (CSV). This planning worksheet does not replace an agency application or approval.
