Is the Adams County building department backed up?

Permit-filing volume is the best public proxy for permitting load: the more permits a building department takes in, the heavier its review queue. Adams County, CO logged 198 permits in the last 7 days versus 84 the week before — a 135.7% increase, so intake is accelerating and review backlogs are likely growing. This tracker refreshes weekly from official municipal feeds, so it reflects the current pace rather than a stale snapshot.
