The city of Vancouver is taking another step toward accepting engineering applications entirely online. As of March 1, all engineering applications will require applicants to use the city’s ePlans electronic plan review software.
The city is also rolling out improvements to its ePlans software to coincide with the shift. Review periods will be shortened, and applicants will be better prepared for pre-application meetings.
“We’re looking forward to continuing to find ways to improve and simplify our plan review process for our customers to save them time and money,” City Development Review Division Manager Jason Nortz said in a press release.
Many city departments only accept electronic applications already.
To help ease the transition process, the city is offering free ePlans training courses between Thursday and Feb. 28.
