All fees will need to be submitted with the initial submittal. Occasionally, additional fees may need to be
assessed at the time of plan approval. The owner and design professional will receive notification via phone
and email advising of the outstanding fees due upon the pickup of approved plans. Please note, all fees
should be made payable to the City of Charlotte.

Once plans are approved and if such plans have additional assessed fees, such plans will need to be paid in
full by 30 days after plan approval or 30 days from contact by city staff that the approval package is
available for pick-up. After 30 days, the account will be sent to the City of Charlotte’s collection

If payment is not received for services rendered, any or all information provided on this application
(including tax identification number) will be used for collection purposes.

When hardcopies of plans are submitted, upon approval of plans, City Engineering will request that the
applicant submit an electronic copy of the approved plan set (signed/sealed by professional) in Adobe PDF
format to the e-mail address ldplans@charlottenc.gov. Once the PDF files are received, city staff will
electronically stamp the files and attach them permanently to the associated permit record in Accela. This
process enhancement will allow LD to maintain a digital archive of approved plans for easy access for
research and retrieval.
