Third-Party Plan Review Procedure

Permit applications must be submitted to the Building Department before an applicant contracts with a third-party review firm/engineer. Third- party firms will not accept the plans if this is not done first.

Plan sets for third party applications must include the following additional plans for the Building Department.

Four site/plot plans
One elevations plan
One floor plan

The Building Department will assign an application number when the appropriate application fee is paid. The applicant will need the assigned number so the third-party firm can use it to identify the project on all documents and correspondence. The applicant will be responsible for all correspondence and corrections to plans with the third-party firm during the plan check process.

Two complete sets of plans, stamped with the application number, are also needed for the third-party firm. When the plan check process is complete and the plans are ready for the Building Department to review, before issuing a permit, one complete approved plan set will be returned to the applicant.

Before issuing the permit, the Building Department will require an additional 3 to 7 workdays for review. If a structural correction to the plans is necessary, the plans may have to be returned to the third-party firm for additional review of any changes.
