As of August 12, 2019 the permit review process includes an initial submission review for completeness as the first step. If the submission is found to be sufficient, an invoice will be issued. If found to be insufficient, the plan will be rejected and a resubmission will be required. Submissions must include the administrative fee (see below) and the project submission checklist.

  1. If the plans are found to be sufficient a Review Fee Invoice will be issued. The applicant has 45 days to pay the invoice.
    1. Permit Review will not commence until the review fee is paid.
    2. If not paid within 45 days, the submission will be cancelled, a new submission will be required and the old plans will be discarded.
       
  2. If the plans are found to be insufficient and rejected, a resubmission will be required. The applicant has 45 days to make a resubmission.
    1. The rejected plans will be available to the applicant at our front desk.
