3 Common Reasons Your Permit Gets Rejected

Account Closed
Posted

After working with multiple city building departments, I’ve noticed most permit rejections come down to:

  1. 1.Missing code-compliant details in drawings

  2. 2.Outdated plan formats that don’t match submission guidelines

  3. 3.Lack of a proper architectural letter stamp

If you’re planning to submit your project soon, check these items first  it can save weeks of delays.
If anyone wants to see an example of a permit ready stamped plan, I can share one privately.
