Step 4: Submit ePlan
Once you have completed the payment process, return to the permit status page. (You may need to refresh this page to update the payment status.)
Once the payment is processed, you will see a link to upload the ePlan in the far-right column. Click “Upload an ePlan” to begin an electronic plan submission request for ProjectDox.

Step 5: Verify your information
Confirm that your email, permit number and other project information is correct. Then check the box beside “Are you sure that you are going to submit a plan/plans electronically for the above permit?” and select the “Submit” button. This will create a ProjectDox workspace for your project.

Step 6: Accept ProjectDox invitation and log in
First-time users: You will receive an email with an invitation to ProjectDox for your permit application within 15 minutes. The invitation will contain instructions and login information.
- If you are a new ProjectDox user, you will receive a user ID and temporary password.
Returning users: If you are a returning ProjectDox user, simply log-in to ProjectDox and locate your project using your existing Username and Password. (Note: it may still require 15 minutes for the two systems, FIDO and ProjectDox, to connect.)
Once you are in the ProjectDox application, you will be able to Upload ePlans.
