Before making an appointment

So you've submitted your paper plans for review. When checking PortlandMaps.com you find your reviews are in "Checksheet" status.

"Checksheet" status means that reviewers have looked over your plans and provided feedback.

Make sure all open reviews are in "Checksheet" or "Approved" status. Do this by searching PortlandMaps.com with the IVR number or permit number of your project.

Are all open reviews are in "Checksheet" or "Approved" status?

If no, you must wait to schedule an appointment. Thank you for your patience.

If yes, go ahead and schedule an appointment.

You are required to make corrections and resubmit the plans that are in "Checksheet" status. To do that you'll have to pick up your plans from Portland Permitting & Development.

Reschedule an appointment

Before you schedule your appointment, please ensure this is a date and time that is not likely to change.

To reschedule or change your appointment, you will need to cancel your original appointment and create a new appointment. This allows us to provide services to others equitably.

If your appointment was cancelled

We cancel appointments if:

  • At least one review on your project was not in Approved or Checksheet status.
  • Not all of your plan sets have been returned by the reviewers.

If your appointment is cancelled, you will need to reschedule your appointment once one or both of the conditions listed above are resolved.

Check the status of your reviews

Go to PortlandMaps.com and find the address of your permit. Under Permits & Zoning, click Permits, and find your permit number in the list. You may need to expand the list to find your permit.

Once you find your permit, select it, and find the reviews you want to check. You can see its status in the Activity Status column.
