My foundation plan approval in Austin took 11 months, not the 6 weeks they promised.

The city kept asking for more soil reports and engineer stamps on a sloped lot. Every time we sent something, they found a new rule from a different department. The builder said it was normal, but waiting almost a year just to get a permit to dig is crazy. It added over $15k in holding costs and design fees. Has anyone else had a city drag out the plan check process this badly on a custom project?

That sounds like a total nightmare, sorry you went through that.
