2. Requirements for a revision?: To learn about the requirements for a revision, review the Revision Cost Change Statement Requirements which can be obtained by calling the Building Department at 561-393-7930 or via email to BuildingPermits@MyBoca.us

3. Can I submit a revision online?: Yes, you must go into your project and send an e-mail to BuildingPermits@MyBoca.us and they will reopen the project for customer uploading. The PERMIT LIBRARIANS are the only ones that can reopen your project. If you are submitting architectural signed, sealed plans then the architect must encrypt them using the PEDDS format. Please don’t go the City website and create another application. We would then need to revoke the newly created application and move the documents, delaying the process.
