Note: Effective November 7, 2011 our division changed the calculation process for all single family plan review fees and permit fees. Essentially, we will only utilize the FINISHED SQUARE FOOTAGE of the as the primary means of calculating fees. The dollar amount to be utilized for all single family is now $105 per square foot. PLAN REVIEW TIMES

The City of Aurora Building Division is committed to overall maximum average times for plan reviews. Those plans requiring corrections will be rejected within the time frame listed below and, when resubmitted with all corrections done properly, will receive a plan approval within the time frame listed below following receipt of the complete and error free corrections.

NOTICE: The reviews of Single-Family plans are conducted independently by both the Planning Department and the Building Division. When plans are accepted in for review by the Building Division they are immediately routed to the Planning Department for review of the elevation plans. Once approved by the Planning Department, the Building Division plan review process starts. Single-Family reviews are NOT routed to other internal city departments (e.g. , Aurora Water, Planning Department, etc.) for approval prior to permit release.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT REVIEW Planning Elevation Review = 7 working days. Code corrections by applicant = 7 working days. City review of code corrections = 2 working days.

TOTAL WORKING DAYS = 16 DAYS

BUILDING DIVISION REVIEW City plan review for code compliance = 21 working days. Code corrections by applicant = 7 working days. City review of code corrections = 2 working days.

TOTAL WORKING DAYS = 30 DAYS

BOARD OF APPEALS: The City of Aurora has created a Building Code and Contractors Appeals and Standards Board. Applicants have the right to have the board hear appeals of orders, decisions or determinations made by the building official relative to the application and interpretation of the building code. Any application for appeal to the board shall be based on a claim that the true intent of the code or the rules legally adopted thereunder have been incorrectly interpreted, the provisions of the building cod do not fully apply or an equally good or better form of construction is proposed.

COMMENTS OR CONCERNS: We are always looking for ways to improve the website and our hand-outs for the Building Division. Please email [email protected] with your comments and suggestions.
