eReview Process

In our ongoing effort to improve the service we provide to our development community, the City of Maitland offers a variety of ways to submit your permit and associated plans.

Electronic Plans– The City of Maitland, in compliance with state mandate, accepts and encourages, digital plan submittals through our on-line interface. Electronic plan submittal offers a more efficient review and inspection process and allows the owner/contractor/applicant the ability to track the status of the submittal and even schedule inspections. Our electronic plan process is outlined below:

Submittals/Resubmittals: Digital plans are to be submitted without any digital or electronic signature on the plans. Simultaneously, a wet or embossed sealed hard copy of theProfessional Signature Submittal (PSS) form is to be delivered (or mailed) to the Maitland Building Division. This PSS document is in lieu of the seal/signature on the plans and can be downloaded from our website. It is important to note, that the PSS form is required for a sufficient submittal/resubmittal. The PSS must list all documents the engineer or architect is responsible for and would normally sign and seal.Resubmittals must be accompanied by a Response to Comments formoutlining the revisions in response to staff comments.
- PSS Applies to: submittals, resubmittals, and revisions.
- PSS Does Not Apply to: product approvals and manufacturer information that has copies of sealed structural documents.
Approval: When a permit review is approved, the Building Division will electronically stamp the appropriate plan set and make the stamped plan set available to retrieve. The responsible engineer or architect will sign and seal the hard copy and deliver to the Maitland Building Division to serve as the record copy, prior to issuance of the permit.
Inspections: Printed paper copy of plans with City stamps are to be on site for inspections.
Plan revisions : Plan revisions after a permit has been issued follow the same process of the submittal along with a Revision Application form uploaded with the revision.

Hard Copy (Paper) Plan – Until further notice, the City of Maitland still permits plans to be submitted via hard copy (paper set). Please note, to reduce review time and accelerate the permit issuance timeline, the City will be utilizing our electronic review software to review your plans. To accommodate the electronic review, the City of Maitland requires an electronic version with the hard copy plan set.

Submittal/Resubmittals: Hard copy submissions require two (2) hard copies and one (1) electronic version of the plan set on a "thumb drive". The applicant is required to submit their plans in person or via mail. The electronic version shall notbe signed or sealed, however the hard copies shall be signed and sealed consistent with Florida State Statue requirements. The signed and sealed hard copies essentially act as your Professional Signature Submittal in the Electronic Plans option above. Resubmittals must be accompanied by a Response to Comments formoutlining the revisions in response to staff comments.
- Architecturalplans signed and sealed with raised seal. (F.S. 481)
- Engineeredplans signed and sealed wet or embossed. (F.S. 471)
Approval: If the permit is ready to be approved without revisions, the hard copy plan set will be stamped by the City of Maitland and made available for pick-up upon permit issuance. If a resubmittal is required, the applicant will resubmit two (2) hard copies and one (1) electronic version. When the permit is ready to be approved, the hard copy set will be stamped by the City of Maitland and made available for pick-up upon permit issuance.
Inspections: Printed paper copy of plans with City stamps are to be on-site for inspections.
Plan revisions : Plan revisions after a permit has been issued follow the same process of two (2) paper copies of the plan along with the Revision Application form and one (1) electronic copy of the plan and Revision Application form submitted for review.
