If a permit is needed, an application for a permit must be completed and submitted to the
Building Department with all required drawings, specifications, plan review fees, and any
additional information that may be required. The typical plan review time for permits that
require drawings is 10 days. If drawings are not needed for a permit, the permits are usually
issued the same day.
