PLEASE NOTE: new submittals will no longer be accepted via the Plan Review email starting 1/1/2020. All new submittals must be made through e-permits.

• Download the Residential Permitting Guide (PDF) for application forms and checklists (or the Master/TA guide for production homes). Do not apply separately to SUDP -- instead, include a utility site plan showing size, type, and location of water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer lines (and any other SUDP plans/documents specific to your project) with your building submittal. Both reviews will run concurrently.

• Save all files as PDFs and name them as follows: DocumentName_Address_Date.pdf (e.g., SitePlan_201WColfax_11-1-2017.pdf)

• As with paper submittals, all plans, reports, surveys, etc. prepared by an architect, engineer, or surveyor must bear their seal and signature. Learn how to apply a valid electronic signature (PDF). The electronic signature must be visible on the plan cover page and the seal must be visible on each sheet.

Resubmittals

Resubmittals must be made in the same format as the initial submittal. For example, if the initial submittal was submitted via e-permits, then the resubmittal must be submitted via e-permits. 

1. Online through e-permits
   • Upload resubmittal documents to the “attachments” page of the online LOG record 
2. By email to PlanReview@denvergov.org 
   • For large files that cannot be sent as attachments, email a link to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. where staff can download the files. The documents must be available to download without a password.
3. In person. Make an appointment for the “Resubmittal” counter

NOTE: For smaller projects that are eligible for a same-day permit and do not need to be logged in for review, visit the Single-family/Duplex Walk-through Counter.

New! The SUDP application process has been combined with electronic building permit applications for a more streamlined submittal process and faster review times for many SUDP customers.

• All SUDP reviews will now start automatically when a building permit application is received via e-permits (using the instructions above). At a minimum, please include a utility site plan showing the size, type, and location of water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer lines (and any other SUDP plans/documents specific to your project) with your building plans to ensure a timely review. Do not submit separately to SUDP.

• Resubmittals, SUDP-only reviews for projects that do not need building permits, and SUDP plans submitted after logging in paper plans at the counter can continue to be emailed to wastewaterpermits@denvergov.org.

• Email applications and plans to zoning.review@denvergov.org with "new zoning application" in the subject line of the email.

• Visit the commercial zoning webpage to download permit applications and guides for what plans need to be submitted with your application.
