***PLAN REVIEW IS FOR COMMERCIAL PROJECTS ONLY ***
Plans should be submitted in iWorQ. Select the submit electronic plan review link above to begin the process.
Take the time to review the Plan Submittal Requirements prior to submitting plans. Projects classifications include:
Basic Plan Review
The plan review process is designed for new construction and/or minor changes to the inside or outside of a building. Examples include, but not limited to, handicap ramps, removal or installation of non-load bearing walls, installation or removal of serving counters, etc. This also includes projects that are under 5,000 sq. ft. and less than 3 stories in height.
Plan Review Requiring Design Professional
The Plan Review process that requires a design professional is intended for in-depth commercial construction projects greater than 5,000 sq. ft., more than three stories in height, or occupancy classifications such as Assembly, Daycare, Educational, and/or Institutional.
Regardless of the classification, plans must be submitted/approved through iWorQ.
Plan Review Times
Our goal is to complete the review process quickly, but thoroughly. The length of time for review will depend on the completeness and accuracy of the information provided. A more complex development will require additional review time. Plans are sent to the appropriate departments for review and/or approval. If additional information or changes are needed, comments will be collected from each department and the point of contact will be notified. Once all comments have been addressed, a revised set of plans may be required to be submitted for approval before a permit can be issued for construction.
