The building permit service that fits your project depends on the type of property and complexity of your project. To get started, click the button below for the property type associated with your building project.

Effective Jan. 1, 2026, the 2025 Building Codes will replace the 2022 codes.

The 2022 and 2025 building codes can be viewed at the Building Standards Commission webpage.

Resubmittal/Revision Service - If you are NOT an SJePlans user and you've already gone through an initial project submittal and now need to resubmit plans OR submit revised plans for a project that has been issued a permit, then use this service. 

Approved Permit Issuance - Your plans are reviewed and approved, but there may be a few outstanding documents to submit for permit issuance. This service enables you to submit these outstanding documents.

To help provide customers with timeline expectations for their building permit, below are some measures from our Customer Centric Dashboard that show current timelines at key phases of the permit process.

For each metric, you’ll see our current performance, marked with either a check mark or exclamation mark, the target goal, and a percentage indicating the change from the previous period. Green indicators show we're meeting or exceeding our goals, while red signals the opposite. Click on any metric for more detailed information and to explore the full dashboard. (for time to first comments, see Commercial/Industrial dashboard here)
