Scheduled Plan Review is Mecklenburg County's latest plan review option that gives customers the ability to control their permitting and construction schedule. With Scheduled Plan Review, customers will know exactly when a review will be performed and how long it will take.
The vast majority of projects are too large or complex for CTAC Review and will be channeled through the Scheduled Plan Review program to be conducted by a team of reviewers. Most Scheduled Plan Reviews entail no more that eight hours of review time for each trade. The most crucial step in this process is allocating the required review time.
