and I think there are several remedies to resolve this - and the developer and the city's business/permitting services both have liability here. 

One my friends just got done dealing with Greenfield and a multiple lot  re-zoning and permits for new builds.

Please be aware that all national homebuilders, and I would assume solar developers as well, will want enough time in the contract to conduct substantial due diligence, rezone (if needed), and get all required land development permits in place before closing on the land. 

Stay up to date on all licenses and permits that may be required. 

Mike, My recommendation would be during due diligence for a potential purchase, ask for past 12 months of all utility bills, property taxes, and any other municipal requirements like rental permits, occupancy inspections etc. 

If they really are, you should ask for copies of city permits and proof passed inspection.Fitzgerald-Marygrove Neighborhood average property value is only $87,549, making it a Class C-Minus Neighborhood (in our opinion).

They see a renewal of the current business tax rates, regulation and permitting rules getting slashed, tax code being simplified, and federal deficits on a one-way ticket down the elevator (which are a longterm drag on economic productivity).Just look at the growth in tax code complexity over the last 20 years.

Labor, supply chain (we are on an island) and red tape: from offers and closing, to funding to permits.  

Meanwhile during the eviction period, we finalized our architectural plans and started the permitting process in the county so we didn't lose much time.

However, one of my biggest concerns when fixing homes is knowing when to use permits.
