PDF Files

  • Remove all security features – save files as unlocked, flattened PDFs

Address

  • Property address must be on all documents – not just the lot number

All Plan Sheets

Minimum Size

Originals of plan sheets must be no smaller than 11” x 17″ – if they’re so small as to be illegible, plans will be rejected. Orient all pages in the same direction.

Stamp Area

Leave a 2”wide x 5-1/2”high blank block on the top right corner of each plan sheet.

Title Bar on Every Plan Sheet

Every plan sheet should contain a title bar that shows:

  • Name and contact information of the person who prepared the plans,
  • Project address including suite/lot number
  • Date the plans were prepared and revised (if applicable)
  • Professional certification seal, if required.

The title bar should be placed on the right edge of the plan sheets.

All plans must show dimensions of significant measurements, with the scale and graphic scale shown on every plan sheet. If drawings on the same sheet are drawn at different scales, label each part of the drawing accordingly.

The minimum scales are 1”=20’-0” for site plans, 1/8”=1’ 0” for floor plans, and 1/4”=1’ 0” for elevations and for plans showing layout of parking and loading.

The numbered delta symbol should be listed in the sheet index with a date indicating on which sheet the revision was made.
