A New Way of Doing Business

Electronic Plan Review or "ePlan" Building Standards will soon begin accepting building permit applications using an online permit application called "ePlan." This service will allow any commercial or residential building permit applicant to file all plans and applications forms online. Some of the many benefits of ePlan include:

  • Green - the need for paper and related printing expenses is essentially eliminated

  • Convenience - building permit applications can be filed 24/7/365 from any computer

  • Efficient - the application, plan review, permitting and inspection processes are streamlined

  • Cost savings - travel time and related expenses for applicants are eliminated

  • Smart - the need for storage space (for applicants and the City) is greatly reduced

  • Customer-centric - communication between the applicant and the City is greatly enhanced

  • Secure - all approved permits and drawings are issued via the Internet using secure PDF formats

  • Easy - property owners can generate as many permit sets as needed for use on site

Limited ePlan testing will begin in early 2012. Full access to ePlan for all applicants will be available by 2nd Quarter 2012.

IVR Phone System Will Improve Customer Service

We will be implementing an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) phone system to streamline our operation and improve customer service. How it works:

  • System prompts will ask series of questions re: permit number, inspection info, date, etc.

  • You will also be able to leave a voice message.

  • When finished, the IVR system will confirm your inspection with a confirmation number.

The City of Dublin will continue to use the web-based Click2Gov for online inspection requests by clicking here. You can choose the method that works best for you.
