Which is clearer:
It was taken to the county in order to obtain the permit.
or
It was taken to the county so that we can obtain the permit.
@dabbadabba,
Both are clear; however, they have slightly different meanings.
@dabbadabba,
What is the "it"?
An inspection form?
The building fee?
The plans?
The plans were taken to the county to get the permit.
@dabbadabba,
The first one remains in third person throughout. The second jumps from third to first so I'd go for the first.
Or,
We took to the county so that we can obtain the permit.
