Residential Masterfile Approvals No Longer Require Grading Plan for Initial Building Review

 

Filing a Residential Masterfile plan has become easier. Long-standing practice has required the Masterfile/initial building permit application tie to a specific grading plan (i.e., individual lot or subdivision plan). With the roll out of Planning Land Use System (PLUS) Release 4 we removed this requirement.

 

Production builders often use master plans to seek general county approval for model homes. Each new building permit application cites the approved Masterfile and thereby eases the subsequent permitting process.

 

To apply for a Masterfile, create an application within the Building tab in PLUS after logging into your account at the PLUS homepage. The Masterfile application can be found under the Administrative arrow.
