Welcome to SCC ePlan Review
The ePlan portal facilitates the electronic submittal of PDF documents for both Building and Discretionary permit applications.
Starting July 14, 2025, we are launching a pilot program to make it easier to understand building permit application requirements.
As part of this program, Camino will be required for all residential projects, including new dwellings, additions, remodels, and non-habitable structures (such as garages). In under a minute, Camino generates a customized checklist of the permit application requirements specific to your project. Learn more and start using Camino here.
