Change an Existing Permit

Changes to existing permits can be allowed when the construction change does not require changing the overall project description and when the project is in the inspections stage. Projects which are already completed, cannot use this process. Construction changes are strictly limited to changes that are within the original scope of work. Work that exceeds the original scope of work must be applied as a new permit. 

Changes to issued building permits are submitted in this way:

  1. Go to the ePlan website and click the “Create Project” at the top your page.
  1. Select “Building” from the dropdown menu and type-in an appropriate name.
  1. Select “CCD – Construction Change Document” from the dropdown menu.
  1. Create a new APP file that includes:
  • PLG-230 as the cover page.
  • PLG-205 as the application form. Please reference the old permit number in the top corner, and clearly list all the new changes in the scope of work (items removed, added, etc.).
  • Make sure this file is bookmarked, fit to page, no layers, etc.
  1. Create a new PLN file that includes:
  • Only the sheets that have changes. You do not need to submit the entire set, only the affected pages.
  • Make sure the files are bookmarked, fit to page, no layers, and meet these minimum sizes:
    • 11" x 17" mininum sheet size for solar, generator, and battery projects; and
    • 18" x 24" minimum sheet size for all other project types.
  1. Create a new SUP file (if necessary) that includes:
  • PLG-235 must be the cover page.
  • Only include the sheets that have changes. You do not need to submit the entire set, only the affected pages.
  • Make sure this file is bookmarked, fit to page, no layers, etc.
  • NOTE: if you are not changing anything in the SUP file, there is no need to upload anything.
