Submit Construction Documents

By this step, your designers have prepared construction and/or site documents required to submit with your application.  These documents must be submitted to and reviewed by City staff against applicable building codes and ordinances. The proposed project will determine the submittal requirements and the disciplines involved with your review.

Plans Reviewed by Staff

Once submitted, your project will be distributed to the staff.  As staff completes the review, they will either "sign-off" on the approval or contact the applicant with comments/corrections needed.  City staff involved in the review process is responsible for contacting the applicant with their comments. 

Verify the  Status of  your building permit

To access the status of your building permit, log on to Online Permit Portal permitting software or contact the Building Permits and Inspections at (956) 681-1300 for verification.  The applicant will be contacted and advised of review comments/corrections needed.  Revisions are reviewed within one or two business days.

After all reviewing departments have "approved" your project, you may proceed to the next step in the Building Permit Issuance.
