What is the Planning Department’s role in regard to building permits?
The Building Inspection Department is your first point of contact for all Summit County building permits. You should submit all plans for permits to that department, unless directed otherwise by staff. Plans for building permits dropped off at other departments may cause a delay in the review and issuance of your permit.

Visit the Building Permits page to find out about review and submittal requirements. During the permitting process, the Building Department will refer all applicable building permit applications to the Planning Department for review and comment.
