We're all in it together during this uncertain time!

The VHR Department is committed to providing you with the best customer service.  We're experiencing a substantial increase in permit applications, and as a result, the turnaround time for permit reviews is taking longer than usual.  Please know we are diligently working to get your review completed as quickly as possible so your VHR permit can be issued.


Due to extreme staffing shortages in our department, our ability to review applications and respond to phone calls and emails is behind schedule.  We appreciate your patience.
