2024-10
Chatham permit count jumps 67% on express work
Chatham logged 40 permits in October, up from 24 the month before. Thirty-one of those came through the express permit program—quick-turnaround jobs like water heaters or minor electrical fixes. Total permitted value hit $921k, a 23% uptick from September's $746k. No new business licenses opened or closed. The spike suggests a burst of small-scale home repairs rather than major construction.
2025-10
Chatham permit count jumps 37% on express filings
Chatham logged 41 permits in October, up from 30 the month before. Most of that came from 27 express-program filings—quick-turn approvals for routine work. Sign permits accounted for another 10. Total permitted value inched up 5% to roughly $896k. No new business licenses appeared in the data, and the other metrics stayed flat or zeroed out.
