Plan Submittal Requirements

Beginning July 1, 2024, the plan review fee will increase from 25% to 35% of the permit fee.

Plans are required for Commercial Projects, and a plan review fee is required to be paid at the time of submittal. There is a minimum fee of $100.00.

The list below details the minimum requirements for plan submittal. The applicable departments will review your plans and approve or disapprove. If the project is disapproved and revisions/addendums need to be submitted there will be a fee of $25.00 required at the time of re-submittal. This fee will be charged for each re-submittal so waiting until all reviews have been done is recommended so that you only re-submit once with all the revisions if any are required.

Once the project is approved and permitted, if any revisions/addendums need to be submitted there will be a fee of $25.00 required as well.
