A residential quickstart is an agreement between the City and property owner which allows construction of a new single-family dwelling or duplex to begin on the property before the City performs the required code compliance plan review. To apply for a residential quickstart, you must bring three sets of plans and a signed Quickstart Agreement . Construction may begin and continue through the point of underfloor inspections. The City will not inspect construction extending above the subfloor. Further progress can only be completed after the building permit is issued.
Commercial projects require five sets of plans.
Interior alterations only call for three sets of plans. Intake Review and Plan Submittal Staff perform an initial review of the plans to ensure they have the required information needed to complete the review process. If your plans are not complete enough for review, you will be asked to return with more information. Staff will accept complete plans and assign the project a permit application number. You will be asked to pay a plan review fee, which is based on the value of your project.
