Permit value doubles to $125k despite flat count

South Deering pulled 18 permits in September, same as August, but total value more than doubled to $125,521. Thirteen of those were express permits, with a sign permit and a renovation rounding out the work. No new businesses opened or closed. Service requests dropped 8% to 655, led by tree debris clean-up (62 calls) and garbage cart issues (59). Crime ticked up 11.5% to 174 incidents, though violent offenses held flat at 59. Whatever drove the permit-value jump isn't spelled out in the data.
