The Building Safety Division will only accept construction documents submitted for a building permit in electronic format. For a successful electronic plan submittal, please follow Electronic Plan Check Requirements. Note that not complying with the electronic plan submittal formatting requirements may cause a delay in the plan review process.
All submittals must be in PDF format. Please be sure to separate your documents by document type and size. For example, the permit application should be ONE (1) PDF file, plans should be ONE (1) PDF file, Supplemental Documents should be their own PDF files. Please do not separate each page unless it is a separate document.
Please be sure all documents are unlocked so we can put our stamps on them.
Submittals for all permits except for solar must be emailed to plancheck@cityoftracy.org. All solar submittals must be sent to photovoltaic@cityoftracy.org. Submittals via email are limited to 25 MB total. If your documents are larger, please send them via email through a file sharing program (FTP, Dropbox, Newforma, etc.). Please make sure the files are unlocked for us to access.
A Building Permit technician will notify you once your plan check fees are ready to be paid. The plan review fee must be paid online and the plan review will only begin after the plan review fees are paid.
Submittals after the 3rd review and all Revisions are charged at an hourly rate with a 1/2-hour minimum. For rates & fees, please see our Master Fee Schedule.
If you are having issues emailing your documents to us, please call us at (209) 831-6400 or email plancheck@cityoftracy.org.
