Residential Electronic Plan Submittal Policy
Our Residential Electronic Plan Submittal program has been in effect for four years. This
program has proven to be very beneficial to both Code Enforcement and the home builder
community. We believe there is always room for improvement, consequently to increase
our efficiency and ensure the product is code compliant certain submittal guidelines must
be followed.
•
•
•
•
•
Plans must be submitted as one file, “Other Files” may be of supporting nature
only, for example: beam or truss specifications.
Master plan designs should be limited to eight structural options and four
elevation options, all combined into one file.
File names must be limited to forty characters and unique to other file names.
Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing drawings are not reviewed for code
compliance and therefore should not be included in the plan submittal
Approved master plans must be customized into a site specific plan set for the
field inspector and maintained at the construction site.
These guidelines will become effective October 1, 2012. Plans received after this date not
conforming to these guidelines will be rejected.
