Plan Check Review and permit Status

A status assigned to a building record which exists within the system, but has not entered Formal Review sometimes because all submittal documents (plans, application, and support documents) or submittal fees have not been received or fully reviewed.

A status assigned to a record which is in Formal Review in an active plan review cycle to which not all reviewers have rendered a response (i.e. approved or correction commented).

A status assigned to a record which is in Formal Review, between review cycles. Correction comments have been issued, but the applicant is yet to resubmit with revised documents.

All plan review disciplines have approved submittal documents (Plans, Support Documents and Calculations).

If the application was made electronically, by submitting PDF files.

• Plan review staff is applying approval stamps to the most current plan set. For reviewers who approved in early cycles of plan review, this will involve comparison and verification that relevant scope has not change between the old and new versions of the plans.
• Processing staff and other relevant fee assessment staff are calculating final fee amounts based on the now finalized and approved scope of work shown on the plans.

If the application was made in paper:

• Processing staff and other relevant fee assessment staff are calculating final fee amounts based on the now finalized and approved scope of work shown on the plans.

All steps detailed above for the verify cycle have been completed but receipts have not yet been collected showing proof of payment for one or all the following categories of impact fees.

• School Fees
• Sacramento Area Sewer District fees
• Regional Sanitation fees

A permit record status letter has been emailed to the applicant detailing the nature of any unresolved conditions which must be satisfied prior to permit issuance. Also attached to this email was the final fee invoice showing all remaining fees due. 

All plan review disciplines have approved submittal documents, all fees have been finalized invoiced and communicated to the applicant, any unresolved conditions which must be satisfied prior to permit issuance have been communicated via email to the applicant. There are unresolved conditions which must be addressed prior to building permit issuance and unpaid finalized fees. 

All plan review disciplines have approved submittal documents. No fee related tasks remain unresolved, meaning all final fees have been calculated and invoiced and any receipts which require collection (school fees, Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD), or Regional Sanitation fee) have been collected. If a permit record status letter was not already sent because the record stopped in “Verify Wait” then a letter and fee invoice is now be prepared and sent. 

This status is assigned to permit records when all plan review disciplines have been approved. The City and Job sets are prepared for issuance. No unresolved conditions exist. The fees have been finalized and are the only remaining item which must be received by the city prior to permit issuance.

This status is assigned to permit records that were approved, all fees were paid and the project is now under construction. If there is an outstanding balance under an issued permit record, fees must be paid prior to scheduling any additional inspections. The link next to the building permit record “Pay Fees” allows for on-line payment via major credit cards and electronic checks.

The project permitted under the permit record received approval on all required inspections.

A new commercial building or tenant space is approved for occupancy.

A building permit or application expired due to inactivity.
