UCC PERMITS UPDATES - EFFECTIVE 1/1/12
12/27/2011
Any permit submittal, effective January 1, 2012, for a commercial building must contain a CD with the plans in PDF format.
This will allow for digital record keeping at MDIA's level as well as the municipal level. This method will reduce clutter and the amount of storage space required to maintain UCC compliant building plan storage. The municipality will simply receive a standard CD with the complete set of stamped and approved plans from MDIA in a secure folder for permanent storage once the plans have been approved.
The permit applicant will need to provide two (2) hard copies of the plan AND one (1)CD with the plans in PDF format. When the plans come back from the MDIA office, BOTH hard copies can be returned to the permit applicant. The CD of plans, to be kept on record for the life of the building, will be returned to the municipal office when the job is complete. The CD will then be treated as the complete construction drawings, only allowed to be removed or altered by the current BCO (UCC 403.85).
