Permit Backlog Tracker

County approval-to-inspection latency and regulatory capacity proxy.

Permit backlog is framed as regulatory capacity: where approval-to-first-inspection latency stretches, new operators wait longer to become visible. Application-to-approval submission dates are not yet present in this corpus, so the page publishes approval-to-inspection latency as the current public-record proxy.
