Permit revisions.

How does your area handle revisions once the permit has been issued?

We deal with multiple jurisdictions, and they are all different. For revisions after the plans are approved and/or issued most want just the revised plan sets. All jurisdictions have this in common: clouds/deltas and detailed responses or narratives of the changes must be provided, and all plans must be signed and stamped the same as they were for the original submittal.

We require the revised plans with a narrative on the changes to be submitted as a plan check. We charge review fees.

There is a "permit revisions form" that we use and ask the applicant to submit with the changes; if it is a big review and a lot of time is spent reviewing, I would charge an additional fee/fees as appropriate. Once the revisions are approved, the plans get re-issued.

Most revisions are pretty straight forward with most jurisdictions. And, pretty simple. They all have a procedure and most do want the narrative. Even if they do not request the narrative, you should include it for clarification of the amendment. Always being proactive makes for a quicker approval and issuance.

We allow for revisions to be free if they are returning changes we asked for. If they are sending in revisions because of changes they want, then we charge for them.

I like that. Prince William County in Virginia charges for all revisions, even as silly it may be. They are one of the toughest when enforcing code and always requests an ICC report with basically any product being used. They will match up your plans/drawings to see if it coincides with the ICC report. And, if it doesn't they will make you provide a new ICC report or adjust your plans accordingly. And, you will have to pay for the resubmission. I haven't fought this yet, but, I may. I.E. Interior Drain Tile Systems. If the Drainage Board doesn't match exactly. Redic!!
