Pre-Submittal Meeting

The Building Department offers pre-submittal meetings for your project should you wish to review submittal requirements.

The time to schedule a Pre-Submittal meeting is when you are ready to submit for a permit. The Permit Control Coordinator will review the required drawings/specifications and permit application to determine if they meet the requirements needed for permit submittal. If the drawings/specifications and application meet the requirements, the application will be accepted for review. If the drawings/specifications and application are not complete, a list of required items for the permit submittal will be provided to you. A new appointment may be required based on the missing items.

Please refer to the Residential Submittal Requirements (PDF) or the Commercial/Multi-Family Submittal Requirements (PDF) for detailed information about what is required to submit for a building permit.
