Or you can pay the expediter to handle the permit and the variance. Typically a permit takes 8 weeks but the town now has an expedite desk which gets smaller jobs such as fences done quicker. I think it's like an extra $100 bucks and the town will do it in a week. It's only for small jobs like decks, fences, bathrooms.. Since yours is going to be denied though, it will get denied after a week and then go to the Board of Zoning Appeals which could take another 6-10 weeks. The fee from an expediter could be $1,200 - $2,500 depending on their role. Then you gotta add permit fees which are a few bucks.

As for the garage conversion, your architecture plans could cost $2,000 - $3,500 plus permit fees. It will take town roughly 8 weeks to process after architect submits.

If you like your contractor, ask him for his architect's contact info. I'm sure the architect can give you a quote for the garage conversion and he can handle the fence himself or recommend an expediter if he doesn't want to do it.

Hope this helps.
This is extraordinarily helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Just a quick follow up question- do you have any idea of what the permit fees for the garage conversion would be? Does the 8 week timeline after the architect submits his plans assume that I hired an expeditor or is it 8 weeks without one?
