Ensure Your Permit Submittal Is Complete Before You Hit Submit
The Intake Completeness Check ensures every required form, plan, and supporting document in your plan set is present and complete to help you make sure you're not missing something simple.
What It Is
The Intake Completeness Check acts just like a municipal intake reviewer who does a first pass to make sure you have submitted all the documents required and that you haven't left any boxes on the jurisdiction's forms unfilled or forgot to affix your signature.
Confirms the jurisdiction, based on postal address or plot number
Confirms plan sets include all necessary disciplines required by the jurisdiction
Ensures all required signatures are affixed and required forms are complete
It's a professional pre-intake evaluation designed to confirm that every required form, plan, and supporting document is present and properly prepared before submission. It ensures completeness—not code compliance. Use our Permit Review Diagnostic to flag code violations, inconsistencies, and compliance issues to ensure your plans meet technical standards the first time.
