Paper plans, including residential building plans, will now only be accepted electronically via the Plan Review & Tracking system.

~ Plan review processes that began in the former plan review system before Wednesday, September 1, will continue in that system until complete.
~ Plan review processes starting on Wednesday, September 1 and going forward, must use only the new Plan Review & Tracking system.

To use the new system, you must first create an account, even if you had an account in the former plan review system. Previously, residents, contractors and developers used two separate online City systems, Electronic Plan Review and Plan Tracking.

“The new Plan Review & Tracking system should help simplify and complete plan reviews in a timely, transparent process,” says Michael Lewis, manager of Development Services.
