EPC Submittal Guidelines

The City of Lathrop Building Division accepts building plans to be submitted as electronic files for Digital Plan Review. The Building Division utilizes Adobe Acrobat & BlueBeam Software. This is an alternative to submittal of multiple sets of paper plans and saves printing and courier costs. Please follow the EPC Submittal and Issuance Guidelines specified below.
