What is the resubmittal process?

Resubmittal Instruction:

In order to resubmit, login to your Citizenserve account and follow these steps:

• Click on “View my requests” in the upper left
• Click on the permit number that is “under review”. Please note that the permit should have the “resubmittal required” status to proceed.
• The next screen looks like the one below with “upload documents” in the upper left:



• After you select “upload documents”, you will be able to select files. Once you click on select files, you will be able to upload a document. You can upload one at a time. Each upload prompts you to also provide a description (see below). This should be a general description such as “Civil Plans”, “HOA documents”, etc. DO NOT HIT SUBMIT. You can keep uploading files from “select files”. Once you have uploaded everything you want to, then you can hit submit. If you do Submit before you have everything uploaded, then you’ll just go back through the steps above (this is fine if it happens).



• Once you’ve uploaded all the documents plans for the resubmittal, click “submit”. After you submit,  you will get acknowledgement that the documents have been uploaded. Your resubmitted documents will show up in your “Documents” tab. You can always go back and upload more information as well if needed.
• Planning staff will review the resubmittal on scheduled development plan submittal dates. Staff will then make sure everything has been provided to start the review process and will provide an update via Citizenserve if the project has been accepted and if any review fees are due or if public notice signs need to be posted.
