Updated Business Process
Stormwater Planter Box Guidelines
Stormwater retention planter boxes are oftentimes located on the building site as part of a system to meet the Department of Environmental Services’ (DES) requirements to mitigate storm water runoff. The building code does not require them. However, when required by DES, the Virginia Residential Code must be met so that their presence does not harm the house.
REMINDER: Commercial Building Plan Review – Effective November 1, 2018
Starting November 1, 2018, paper plans for all commercial building plans that qualify for express (“fast-track”) review will be reviewed in two (2) business days, and three (3) sets of paper plans are required.
