If the revision or as-built is required as per our inspection team and they have added the BD Revision step to your workflow, you apply like Step 10 above similar to a sub permit. Go to Sub Records tab in CSS and click Apply next to BD Revision.

If our customer team has NOT added the workflow step to your permit or this a new revision initiated by your owner, design professional or contractor, please follow the guidance document here:

•  Permit Revision

• Expired Permits
  • Permits are valid for 180 days from last approved inspection.
  • If permit is fully expired, complete a current  permit application marked for renewal on Page 2, sign and notarized by both owner and qualifier.
  • Refer to  Personnel Directory for appropriate clerk to VIA EMAIL with subject line: [Permit Number] Expired Permit Renewal Application.
• Extending a Current Permit
  • If permit is still valid, complete a current  permit application marked for permit extension on Page 2, sign and notarized by both owner and qualifier.
  • Refer to  Personnel Directory for appropriate clerk to VIA EMAIL with subject line: [Permit Number] Permit Extension Request.
• Lost Plans Request
  • If you no longer have a copy of the permit set for the field, which is required in order to proceed with inspections, you must also submit a Lost Plans Request. Mark the appropriate box on Page 2 of the permit application. Refer to Personnel Directory for appropriate clerk to send Lost Plans Request.

• A permit is ready to be closed when all sub permits are final and all inspections under the master permit are completed. When this occurs, the permitting system will update the permit status to “Closed/No further action.”
• Not all permits receive a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) or Certificate of Completion (CC). Typically, permits that change use, occupant load, or square footage will receive a CO. Shell buildings waiting to receive a tenant improvement or buildout receive a CC.
• Permits are updated every 2-3 days to issue a Certificate of Occupancy/Completion when required.
• For more information, you may email Chief Building Inspector,  Alex.Garcia@cityofdoral.com to review your request with subject line: [Permit Number] CO/CC Request.
• Certificates are uploaded and available under “Attachments” in the CSS Portal at  www.cityofdoral.com/permitting. You must be a contact on the permit to view documents.
