Before you get going, here are some important links to forms and GIS info to double check!

If you are in need of plan review application form paperwork -> Click here! If you do miss something on your submittal, we will make sure to reach out and ask for it along the way.

If you are unsure of if you are applying to the correct community, many times US Postal mailing addresses don't always align to the community boundaries. To make sure here is the GIS link so you can verify that you are applying to the correct community. If your project is located outside of the City of Appleton, then you will have to work with that community on what your process is to obtain plan review and approval.
