Texas — Williamson County

Plan review coordination where
Georgetown offers none of its own

Georgetown runs a 30-business-day commercial plan review with no city-run expediting option.
That’s exactly where JDJ’s coordination earns its place — keeping your Site Development Plan
moving through Planning and Buildings & Inspections.

The framework, in JDJ’s words

Every Texas city on this site uses its own code, department names, and review process.

What JDJ handles in Georgetown

Georgetown is explicit about it: there’s no city-run expediting process for commercial plan review.
That gap is exactly what JDJ fills, start to finish.

Worth knowing: Georgetown’s Buildings & Inspections Department states directly that it does not offer an expediting option for plan review. JDJ’s coordination role is the value-add other consultants in this market don’t provide.
