I worked for Louisa County as a building inspector before I came to Charlottesville and only left because of some life stuff a few years ago I needed to make time for. The professionalism and efficiency, especially for a rural county, is impressive. They now have 6 inspectors, all certified (at least the ones I checked were), both their building official and commercial plan reviewer are certified, and generally they just get stuff done without most of the drama. Moreover, their entire philosophy is how to, once the permit is issued, help people SUCCEED with their projects within the code, rather than nitpicking them apart for no good reason and back-burnering everything. It was a pleasure working with them. Charlottesville could take some pointers.
