How to Respond to Plan Review Corrections in Tigard, OR

Tigard's Building Division takes building permit applications through the Community Development Hub only; the City no longer accepts them by email or at the counter. It also asks applicants to plan for longer response times because of demand. When review time is long, each extra round costs more.

Settle the address first

A project that needs a new or changed address or suite number needs an Address Application, and the new address must be active in the City's system before a building permit application is accepted. On ADUs, conversions and tenant spaces, this is a common reason a resubmittal sits.

How to answer corrections

1. Pull every comment from the Hub into one list.

2. Sort by discipline: building, structural, energy, engineering, planning.

3. Fix each item on the drawings, not only in the response.

4. Write one response that names the sheet and detail for each comment.

5. Resubmit everything at once, with revised calculations and reports included.

Common gaps

Garage conversions and basement work tend to collect comments on fire separation, egress windows, ceiling height and the energy code all at once. Decks and accessory structures are covered by the City's own construction guides; check them before answering a comment about exemptions. The model building codes treat an application as abandoned 180 days after filing unless it is being pursued in good faith, and allow the building official to extend it (IBC and IRC Section 105.3.2). Confirm the local rule and the date on your file before you assume there is time left.

How SASHKOV handles it

• Reads every correction comment and builds one item list across all review disciplines.

• Coordinates structural, civil, energy and survey items with the licensed consultants under one SASHKOV contract.

• Revises the set so every item is resolved on the drawings, with a response that names the sheet and detail for each comment.

• Resubmits one complete package through the City's portal and tracks each review to issuance, in business days.

Where a building requires a licensed architect or engineer of record, SASHKOV brings them into the contract.
