Dear Permit Official:
We request your participation in the Survey of Residential Building or Zoning Permit
Systems. We use the information from this survey to update our list of jurisdictions that
issue building or zoning permits. From these jurisdictions, we obtain statistics on the
number and valuation of residential housing units authorized by building or zoning
permits. Your voluntary response to this survey will help us provide the kind of statistics
that the Federal Government, state and local governments, and private industry can use
to analyze this very important sector of our economy.
Please complete all sections applicable to the jurisdiction shown in the "FOR" line of the
address section of the enclosed Form C-411, "Survey of Residential Building or Zoning
Permit Systems," and return it within 30 days of the postmark stamped on the front of the
envelope.
The United States Code, Title 13, authorizes this survey, provides for voluntary
responses, and provides an exception to confidentiality for public records.
The Office of Management and Budget has approved this survey and has given it a
control number. This 8-digit number is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
information collection form. If this number were not displayed, we could not request your
participation.
The burden on you for filling out this form is estimated to vary from 5 to 20 minutes per
response, with an average of 15 minutes per response, including the time for reading
questions, formulating answers, and marking appropriate choices. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden, to: Paperwork Project 0607–0350,
U.S. Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road, AMSD-3K138, Washington, DC 20233-1500.
You may e-mail comments to Paperwork@census.gov; use "Paperwork Project
