Plan review fees are available to pay once they are invoiced by CPD staff. Use your Log number to find and pay plan review fees online.
Permit fees are paid after a review is complete (or in advance for commercial zoning permits). Use your permit number— not the Log number—to find and pay permit fees online.
RESCON = Residential construction permit
COMMCON = Commercial construction permit
ZONE = Zoning permit
SUDP = Sewer use and drainage permit
