Respond to Notice of Incomplete Application

You finished submitted your application for a new project, but something required to start plan review is missing. You should have received a Notice of Incomplete Application. You need to submit a Response Notice of Incomplete Application with the addition materials and information requested. We won't take any further action on your application until then.

Pay Project Fees

Fees may be assessed throughout the life of your project.

  • As soon as your project is accepted for review, we'll assess the initial plan check fees.
  • When our plan review is complete, we'll assess additional fees related to required permits. You need to pay all outstanding fees before we can issue the permits and you can begin construction.
  • If you submit SI or make deferred submittals after your permits have been issued, additional fees may be assessed. You'll need to pay those fees before we issue a Certifcate of Compliance or Occupancy.

You can pay eBuild project fees online.
