Process

Initial Plan Review

  1. Initial Review

    Once plans have been accepted into our system, the plans will be forwarded to the plans examiners for review. All plans submitted under all disciplines are reviewed for code compliance to the adopted codes.

  2. Corrections Requested

    Missing information, details, or questions that arise during the initial plan review will require the plan reviewer to write a correction letter which will be sent to the designer of the plan.

  3. Corrections Received

    The designer will prepare a correction response letter and corrected plans to be submitted through the Citizens Access Portal.

  4. Fee Work Up

    Once all disciplines are in the “completed” status, the plan are sent to plan coordination for fee work up.

    5. Revision to the Approved Plans

    1. Revision to the Approved Plans

      As construction continues, changes and revisions to the original set of plans belonging to an ACTIVE permit arise.  A revision is submitted using the following:

      - Complete the "Hourly Plan Review Application" (Front and Back)

      - A detailed narrative describing the changes/scope of work, referencing pages

      - Identify disciplines affected by the scope of work. (See ITEM TYPE of form)

      - All revised plans shall identify the changes with a delta symbol and cloud

    2. Hourly Plan Review Application
