Does your project have a full set of architectural plans, or have you been informed that you need to undergo the “Plan Review Process”?

If you are prepared to submit your plans, please click on the form below to initiate the process. 

Submit My Plans

Frequently Asked Questions:

What do I need to submit? 
You should include plans, relevant calculations, and the Cicero permit application form.

Do I simply email you everything? 
Yes, just fill out the Plan Submittal form to begin your review process.

How long does this process take? 
Typically, the turnaround time is 2-3 weeks for the initial review and 1 week for revisions.

What should I do when the review is complete? 
For rejected plans, you will receive an email with review comments. You must respond accordingly by filling out another Plan Submittal form. Approved plans will result in an email with stamped plans and an approval letter. You will then need to print the approved plans and take them to the Cicero Building Department. Complete instructions will be provided in the approval letter.

How much does it cost? 
Review fees are calculated based on either square footage or the number of sprinkler heads. Inspections are estimated based on the scope of work. All fee tables are included in the review letter for your reference. Additionally, besides the SAFEbuilt fees (which are paid to the Town of Cicero), the Town will assess its own fees.

You must pay the total of all SAFEbuilt fees and Cicero fees directly to the Town of Cicero when you pick up your permit. You do not pay SAFEbuilt. 

What do I do when my plans are approved?

You must provide the Town of Cicero Building Department with the following:

• Completed Building Permit Application with all sections completed (contractor list, value of construction, construction descriptions, etc.).
• Separate Building Permit Application for Fire Suppression, with contracts.
• Separate Building Permit Application for any trades not on the original permit application.
• Completed Electrical Permit Application and a copy of contract(s).
• Separate Electrical Permit Application for Fire Alarm, with contracts.
• Provide copies of all Contractors and Subcontractors 
• All Contractors and Subcontractors must have a valid Town of Cicero Business License. If you submit permit applications from an unlicensed contractor/subcontractor, your application will NOT be processed.
• Provide 3 printed copies of the Stamped Approved Building Plans.

We hope this information simplifies the process for you. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact SAFEbuilt by visiting their website. https://CiceroPlanReview@safebuilt.com/
