I'm Ready to Submit My Building Permit Application

Step 1.Plans must be submitted through the electronic plan review system ProjectDox  

Step 2.

ProjectDox is a web-based electronic plan and document workflow solution that allows citizens and government personnel to initiate and complete the construction plan submission, review, and approval process online, rather than using a manual paper-based process, thus replacing the traditional paper-based review method.

ProjectDox has had a substantial program upgrade.  Here's(PDF, 611KB) what's new in the update.  The updated ProjectDox Basic User Guide is coming soon and will walk you through the basic process.  This system allows you to electronically upload your plans and documents and, once approved, download the approved plans.  

Once a permit application has been input into the City of Medford's electronic permitting system, a portal will be opened to provide accessibility.  An email is then generated through this system inviting the applicant to ProjectDox.  

Quick Tips for Uploading Documents (refer to ProjectDox Basic User Guide link above for more detail):

• All drawings to be placed in the Drawings folder
• Single files for each upload
• Naming convention: Sheet number and name, i.e. A1 SITE PLAN
• Documents folder should include truss engineering, energy calculations, manufacturer specifications, geotech report, etc. and can be in a binder file.  Use the same naming convention as noted above.
• Do not use special characters in the filename.

Instructions for generating reports and how to read plan comments will soon be available on this page.

Building Safety staff are here to assist you with any questions you may have.  Please feel free to call or email throughout any part of this process. 

Step 3.Once the documentation is complete
