Plan Submittal and Review

Building Plans

To obtain a building permit in the City of Globe, a permit application, site plan, and building plans must be submitted to the City for review and approval. Building plans are required to determine compliance with the building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical codes set forth in the International Codes and the City's engineering, planning and zoning requirements. Upon review and approval of building plans, applicants are notified, fees are paid, and a permit is issued. For more information or to check the status of a plan review, contact the Building Safety Department at (928) 425-7146 Ext. 219.

Plan Review Intake Fees

The City of Globe requires a plan review intake fee (Deposit) to be paid at the time of initial application. Once plans have been approved the intake fee will be applied to the final total cost of the plan review fee. Intake fees are non-refundable after payment is received and plan review has been started. Intake fees are utilized to recover the cost associated with plan reviews.

New Construction Plan Review & Permit Fees

  1. Residential Plan Review: A $200 intake fee (Deposit) for all single-family residences shall be received at the time of application and plan submittal. The remaining plan review fees will be determined once plan review has been completed. Intake fees will then be applied to the final plan review fees.
  2. Commercial Plan Review: A $400 intake fee (Deposit) for all commercial projects shall be received at the time of application and plan submittal. The remaining plan review fees will be determined once plan review has been completed. Intake fees will then be applied to the final plan review fees.
  3. Permit Fees: Building inspections are financed by building permit fees. Permit fees for new buildings, additions, renovations, and pools are based on the valuation (total construction costs) of the buildings or structure. The determination of the value or valuation will be made on the basis of the Building Valuation Data published in the International Code Council Building Safety Journal and by other valuation criteria approved by the Building Official. Other types of permits have fees based on the amount of time estimated to inspect the project until completion.
