Application Forms and Handouts
Please visit the Forms and Handouts page for project specific submittal requirements.
It is important to meet all submittal requirements in this policy. Not following these requirements could result in a request for additional information and delay the start of the plan review process.
A building permit technician will contact you within 24-48 hours of your submittal. If the submittal is complete, you will be provided with an invoice of Plan Review fees due and your project will be routed for review.
Once the application, plans, and required documents have been deemed complete by a permit technician, an invoice and payment options will be provided. The plan review fees must be paid to avoid delays in the plan review process.
Resubmittals and Revisions
Any additional uploads for revisions to the existing application may not be reviewed until the full review cycle has been completed and processed back to the applicant.
Digital Stamping of Approved Plans
A City of Elk Grove Approval stamp is required on each sheet. To facilitate digital stamping of approved plan sets and supporting documents please provide a clear space of not less than 2”x 3”. This clear space must be located in the same exact location on each sheet. We also ask that the submitted documents be unprotected so that there are no delays in review and stamping.
Permit Processing and Issuance
Once the application has been approved, you will be contacted by a permit technician by email regarding outstanding items required prior to permit issuance.
The appropriate party will need to pay the final fees.
Once the building permit is issued, the approved plans will be emailed to the responsible party on the permit (Property Owner, Licensed Contractor or Authorized Agent).
A physical copy of the stamped plan(s) and supporting documents are required to be printed out and on site at the time of inspection.
