What is ePlan?

Electronic Plan Review (ePlan) is a web-based solution that allows plans for Building Permits to be submitted electronically, replacing the traditional paper-based review method. ePlan will improve the plan review cycle, reduce costs associated with obtaining building permits and development approvals, as well as support green initiatives.

The ePlan Review system was upgraded to version 9.2 as of January 2023. This new version of ePlan provides many additional benefits over earlier versions including: improved ease of use, better system performance, compatibility with additional browsers instead of just Internet Explorer (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), and support for Apple/Macintosh computers with Intel-based processors.

Please note that all ePlan users must have Microsoft Silverlight installed in order to upload files. If you were already using ePlan on your computer prior to the version 8.3 upgrade, you will need to uninstall the existing components before installing the updated components. Please refer to the Electronic Plan Review Setup page for further information on setting up your computer to use the latest version of ePlan Review, as well as details on supported browser options.
