LDS LogoCounty staff continue to implement additional improvements to the Planning and Land Use System (PLUS) to serve you better. Check out these new PLUS fixes for Land Development Services (LDS) customers.

 

 

PLUS Enhancement

 

 

LDS Customer Benefit

 

Updates to Building

Updated the building permit card for commercial records.

Tenant names are now printed as intended in the appropriate field on building permit cards.

Adjusted Elevator Maintenance records so customers can apply before passing the acceptance inspection.

Contractors can now apply for an Elevator Maintenance record before completion of the acceptance inspection on the Elevator Installation records.

Created a new record level status “Refund Request Pending.”

Customers can see their requested refund is being processed when checking their record status.

Updated elevator invoices.

Customers can clearly identify who to contact for elevator accounts receivable on elevator invoices.

Updated elevator invoices, late notices and final reports.

Elevator invoices, late notices and final reports are now easier to understand because they

group inspection fees based on inspection date and list chronologically from oldest to newest to create more clarity.

Updated “Owner as Contractor” question in every building record.

Customers can better understand the “owner as contractor” question in building record applications.

Updates to Site

Updated the LDS/Inspection Checklist Report.

Customers have clear and easy to read reports for Site Inspections. The report outlines the details of the deficiencies from the inspection, if any, and the corrective action required.

Updated the Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Stop Work Order report.

Customers have easy to read reports clearly outlining all deficiencies from the inspection and what the necessary corrective actions are.

Updated the Non-Designated Plan Examiner (Non-DPE) workflow.

Customer non-DPE plans now follow the updated workflow when corrections have been received by staff.
