Overview

  • Plans submitted and reviewed through ACC's Construction Plans Review process are not officially approved until all fees have been paid for. Once outstanding fees have been paid applicants may move forward to apply for all required permits. All permitting fees will need to be paid directly to the department issuing the permit.
  • For proposed Changes-to-Approved (CTA) submittals, refer to the CTA Application and Fee Calculator to determine total fees due at time of submittal. A $220 field-change fee may be charged at the discretion of the Transportation and Public Works Director or their designee depending upon the scope of change, otherwise there are no fees associated with field-changes. If scope of proposed changes require a new Plans Review submittal, applicant will be subject to initial submittal fees.
