Allow 8–10 business days for processing.
Plan availability and quality cannot be guaranteed, particularly for properties built before 1971.
If plans cannot be located, the application fee will be refunded minus a $12.60 search fee.
If you intend to use the requested plans for a new approval, they may need to be redrafted to meet current standards.
