Publishing schedule for shorts - before or after novel? Or both?

Hello everyone!

I've written a post-apocalyptic science fantasy called The Last of the Ageless that I'm currently having edited. It should be ready to publish on August 1, and I plan to put it into KDP Select for the first 90 days, and then put it up everywhere else November 1.

I also have 5 short stories (all 3k to 5k in length) set in the novel's universe that I'm also currently getting edited and covers for. They all take place before the novel, but some of my beta readers read the shorts after they read the novel and enjoyed them that way. I'll be putting the shorts into KDP Select/KU and leaving them there indefinitely.

Would it be better to release the shorts 1 month apart before the release of the novel, or after the novel?
Or perhaps a mix of both... maybe 2 before (in June and July), 3 after (Sept, Oct, Nov) to hopefully stave off the 30/60/90-day cliffs (especially as I leave KDP Select). That's what I'm leaning toward now.

The reason why I ask is that I have to get a zoning license and business permit in my municipality, and in order to publish all 5 one month apart before the novel comes out, I'll end up having to pay $150 zoning permit fee twice, as I'll be moving out of my apartment in a couple months. It doesn't really seem worth it to pay $150 twice if I don't have to, so that's why I'm leaning toward publishing 2 shorts before the novel/after I move (so only getting the zoning permit for the new place), and then publishing 3 after the novel comes out.

Does 2 prior to the novel's publication and 3 after the novel's publication seem like an OK strategy?

This is my first time publishing, so I want to do it right. I'll have links in the back of all the shorts pointing to the novel (once it's published, or a landing page until it's published). Thanks for your help!
