Over the Counter Plan Review

Electronic over the counter plan check

At this time over the counter plan review will be provided electronically.

As of Monday, March 22nd, 2021, we provide Electronic Over-the-Counter (E-OTC) review for certain projects and work. Please download form CDD-0114, “Criteria for Over-the-Counter Plan Review Request” for the parameters and limitations of this program. Please read and sign the form prior to requesting this service.

To request E-OTC service

STEP 1

Gather the necessary documents needed for an E-OTC request. Each E-OTC request must include the following attachments in PDF format:

  • APP file: Completed application- form CDD-0200 and Signed form CDD-0114 - E-OTC Plan Review Criteria and Request
  • PLANS file: construction plans
  • SUPP file: Supporting Documents where applicable (Calculations, Cut-Sheets, etc.)

STEP 2

Please email your documents to Eotc@cityofsacramento.org between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm on any business day to request the E-OTC service for the following business day. This email box will only accept emails between these hours. Emails which are received outside the hours of 10 am-3 pm will automatically be deleted.

Submission of an email does not guarantee acceptance into the service. If a project is deemed ineligible for E-OTC by review staff, the requestor will be instructed to submit the project through normal submission procedures.

STEP 3

Please wait for a response from the plan review team. All approval and correction notices will be sent by the close of business on the schedule E-OTC service date.
