If you are going to build something in the City of Tucson, there are going to be occasions when you will be required to submit your plans for review. There are two options for this review process. You can have your plans reviewed by the City of Tucson or you can have them reviewed by a 3rd party. The submittal requirements are the same for both and if you choose to go with the 3rd party plan review, you will need to visit Development Services first.  Site review is NOT included in the 3rd party review process and must be reviewed by Development Services. Note: All plans require a minimum 3/32” font, upper and lowercase.
Deferred submittals are a plan review option.  For information on these please contact our office at 791-5550.
