Permits & licenses in Kent County.
Kent County runs its own permitting counter, its own fee schedule, its own review queue — Maryland is county home rule, and no two counties read a plan set the same way. What passed next door can bounce here, and knowing the difference is the job.

How it moves
Your package is checked against the current Kent County checklist before it's filed — forms, editions, scales, signatures. Then it's tracked in the queue and defended through comments. A resubmittal means the back of the line; the pre-filing check is what keeps you out of it. The habit comes from volume: 400+ permits a year across these counters.
