Electronic Plan Check

All projects that require plan review must be submitted electronically through the Public Permit Portal, including resubmittals. Paper plans will not be accepted.

How submissions are made

Applicants can initiate the building permit process and obtain Planning clearance to submit a building permit through our Public Permit Portal. You must create an account to submit. Once Planning clears the project to submit to Building plan review, a Building Submittal Record (SUB) is automatically created, and the applicant is notified via email of next steps. Most building permits require clearance from Planning to submit to Building. In some cases, a Planning entitlement may be required before a building permit can be submitted.

Preparing the submittal package

Electronic plan check (EPC) files must be prepared in conformance with the specified standards outlined in the submittal requirement documents below.

For comprehensive instructions on file content requirements, formatting instructions, and a visual demonstration of the process, reference the Electronic Plan Check (EPC) Building Permit Complete Submittal Guide.
