Preview DRAFT Comments
For the convenience of our customers, we have developed a portal through which plan review comments for any Building permit may be accessed. Given that there are often multiple parties involved with a project, these comments can be accessed by all who have the Building Tracking number, not just the primary contact on the permit.
We hope this feature will enable communication between parties to facilitate project success.
Additionally, this portal retains all comments sent for each project as well as providing a glimpse of the current comment document in DRAFT form.
Note:
Plan Review Comments that are in DRAFT form are SUBJECT TO CHANGE prior to release. DRAFT Review Comments are not accepted for resubmittal purposes.
