The Electronic Plan Check (EPC) program enables applicants to submit Portable Document Files (PDF), as an alternative to submitting the required, application, construction drawings, and supportive documentation (i.e. structural calculations, soils reports, water supply tests, etc.) in the traditional paper form.
The EPC program was enhanced with e-Planning Services. Instead of visiting the public counter or emailing planning@cityofsacramento.org, applicants can obtain Planning clearance to submit to Building through our Citizen Portal. Simply sign up for a basic account and create a Planning Application Submittal (PLN). Once Planning clears the project to submit to Building plan review, a Building Submittal Record (SUB) is automatically created, and the applicant is notified via email of next steps. Note that all building permits require clearance from Planning to submit to Building.
For our existing EPC customers we prepared a visual representation of the process before and after the e-Planning enhancement to the electronic plan check process.
Files submitted for EPC must be prepared in conformance with specified standards outlined in the submittal requirement documents below.
Additionally, for a complete guide on file content requirements, formatting instructions and visual demonstration of the process, the Electronic Plan Check (EPC) Building Permit Complete Submittal Guide provides detailed information.
All new submittals and resubmittals must be submitted through the City’s Electronic Plan Check (EPC) system.
For questions regarding building EPC, email epcintake@cityofsacramento.org, or your assigned Project Manager.
For questions regarding e-Planning services, email planning@cityofsacramento.org.
