Plan Review Process

Plan Review Process

Most building permit applications require the submittal of plans. Upon submittal, plans are reviewed concurrently by multiple disciplines, for compliance with adopted City codes and regulations. Following the initial review cycle (typically two weeks for one- and two-family residential projects; three weeks for multi-family and commercial projects), an applicant will either receive a notice that their permit is ready to be issued, or will receive a plan review letter outlining additional items that must be submitted or resolved before the permit can be issued. It is recommended that prior to submittal, you review your plans to ensure that all of the necessary information is shown clearly and accurately.

For more information on plans required for submittal, reference our checklists below.

Plans for multifamily, commercial, and industrial projects are generally more comprehensive and may require the involvement of a design professional.
