Yea no clue what's going on. I've emailed twice to check on the status and just received the canned response that they process applications in the order they are received.

In the meantime, check your junk folder frequently to make sure the email from them did not get flagged as such.

Additionally, you can add the email address:

auto@permitium.com

to your safe senders list. That was the email address from which they send my approval notice.

Bring your checkbook on permit pickup - they want a check.
I don't know if they can take a CC at the office either, perhaps that's been updated for all I know.

OCSD doesn't want to take credit cards because when applicants are rejected, OCSD gets charged with chargeback fees. But keep on trying to use credit cards, and charging them chargebacks. I'm sure they will really appreciate that.

Applied for renewal Jun 22, still haven't heard a peep. Permit expires end of the month.

"assigning to processor shortly..."

I'm exactly one month past my renewal date. New sheriff or not , this is taking a long time.

Lets remember not too long ago they were issued almost weekly it seemed, now Barnes is at the helm and pretty much stalled.

Guess the Barnes fan boi’s were wrong

Based on my recent renewal timeline and from what others have said in this thread, I would think you will probably be approved next week sometime.

Yes, I just got my approval. No questions asked. Thanks

Often unwise to impugn malice, or something along those lines. I think it is purely the result of the rapid increase in permit issuance that started about two years ago, which has been sustained. In other words, if they issued 7K permits in 2017, and a large proportion of those are now being renewed, that is combining with the new permit applications that are flowing in at the same rate, if not more rapidly.

I believe the OCSD budget is healthy, but maybe not healthy enough to permit them to double the staff assigned to this.

^^This.
They push through as they can with the staff they have. A lot of streamlining and new personnel came at Barne's direction.

And yes, the two-year renewals come in right along with the new applications. I doubt the scope of work involved is realized by the average onlooker. It's a little more complicated than a drivers license. But look how nicely they run it!
