The Plan Review Team is responsible for the review and approval of all permit applications to ensure that proposed construction work meets life safety, accessibility, sustainability, and structural safety requirements of the code. We are committed to providing timely and professional review of plans and documents for all applications submitted to the Building Division of the Community Development Department.
To ensure that our services are as efficient and effective as possible we use an electronic plan review system.
Due to a high volume of permit applications and staff resources, the time frame for plan review is currently longer than normal. We appreciate your patience as we seek additional support. The current average plan review time frames are 20-30 business days for the initial plan review and 10-20 business days for each subsequent review.
Please review the Electronic Plan Submittal procedures to ensure your plan review is not delayed.
You may contact a member of the Plan Review Team for questions regarding state and local code requirements.
