What goes in the package

A complete DADU residential permit submittal includes:

  • Cover sheet with project information
  • Site plan (from the survey + DADU footprint + setbacks called out)
  • Floor plans + elevations + sections
  • Structural plans + calculations (engineer-stamped)
  • Energy compliance worksheet (REScheck or performance model)
  • Stormwater plan + calcs
  • MEP plans
  • Tree report or arborist plan if Title 11 applies
  • Pre-app meeting notes if you had one

How submittal works

  1. Log into DevHub.
  2. Start a new "Residential Permit" application.
  3. Upload all documents as PDFs (sized correctly — DevHub rejects oversized files).
  4. Pay the plan check fee at submittal (typically $1,200-$2,500 for a DADU).
  5. PP&D's intake team reviews for completeness within 1-2 weeks. They'll either accept it into review or kick it back with a list of missing items.

What happens after intake

The application goes to multiple disciplines in parallel: planning, structural, residential, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, BES, and (if triggered) Urban Forestry. Each has its own queue.
