**Important Notice: Limiting Weight of Building Plan Sets**

The Development Services Center is implementing a 50-pound weight limit for building plans sets. Plans must be rolled and bound separately. Two or more sets rolled together cannot exceed 50 pounds. Single plan sets that exceed 50 pounds must be separated into volumes. Please keep this in mind when planning your visit. We appreciate your patience in implementing this new process.
