get copies of all your building plans
 

Did you know that all your building plans can be downloaded from the building dept online?

Go here

use "begins with" and the first part of your street address.

scroll down to attachments, print

just sumter county.................

Very useful and interesting. If you use "Begins with" be sure to start with the actual street address number not simply the street name.
Thanks for posting this.

Great site, thanks.

awesome! thanks. When I get the plans done, I'll do that!

Thanks Jimbo - You are just a font of information !!!

Anne:thumbup:

Okay - I must be slow - what are you clicking on before you go to "begins with"

Thanks for the link. Provides all the specs on the homes. Great info to have.
:BigApplause:

Holy Crow Jimbo .......... How do you find all of this stuff?

Just to left of "begins with" you must click on drop down menu to get "address".
Also this site has problems with these browsers:
IE9
Chrome
Also just put in street numbers and first part of street name. Do not put whole name or city and state.

I can't find the attachments. What am I missing??

Gosh, thanks! The link provides a lot of great info.

Building plans
 

Leave it to Jimbo, he can get anything! Interesting to see how they will hang
the drywall on the walls that go to the outside. They attach 1x2s to the block 16" on center. By the way if you visit each other you will have to pass by my house. I think I'm about halfway in between... Finally got some pics of the house via my sales rep. Blocks outlining the perimeter were almost done. Guess the slab goes in next.

Okay got that far. Are the plans the dowload at the bottom you can click on? When I do that I keep getting Firefox installing on my computer. I am computer braindead and would appreciate any help to locating this information. I know I don't have Chrome and I don't think I have IE9.

Great information. I had no problem with Chrome browser. Thanks for posting this.

where is this drop down, and attachments...there is nothing like that at the site..

It's there?????

others have found it, try a different browser:posting:

hey jimbo, i went to the site, clicked on the address and my information came up and then...what do I do?

Do you have to join and sign in so that you can get the information???

When you click on that download at the bottom of the page you are simply downloading Firefox browser, which you don't want to do unless your browser will not work.

After you get your search results showing the permit number and your address; double click on that bar of info. You should next see a window of info come up below that. Here is what your windows should look like in order.

No.

scroll to the bottom look for 1 or more pdf's,

click print.

If U have trouble give me your addy in a PM I'll get them

Curious. Does not work with Safari or Firefox on Mac - no attachments show up.

Sounds like Mac issue

Thanx--very easy to navigate and my husband loved the idea of having all this info--thanx for sharing it--now I've got to make some copies to keep!

that will cost you a Corona, fair enough?

I too had trouble finding attachments at first. I tried IE, Chrome and FireFox with the same results. THEN... noticing I had four permits listed and permits, I found 2 & 4 had the attachments. The original building permit for the house had no attachments and the 2nd & 4th had them. Those permits were tied into the building of the pool and birdcage as well as one for the solar heat and they included the original drawings where the new additions were added to.

I then checked out a neighbor that had no additional add-ons or permits since the original build. I found that his didn't have any attachments. Seems like there are no attachments on the original building permit... at least not that I saw on the two properties I checked. Could this explain why others cannot find the attachments they're expecting? :shrug:

they R not online for older homes I believe

True.

Bill :)

I noticed that IE 9 is NOT supported. What's up with that?

VG

But U can go there and ask for a copy.

True.

:jester:

Bill :wave:

I read that too. First it said it was good for IE 6-9, then lower it said is wasn't good for 9. I have 9 and I had no problems that I know of.

works fine in Firefox 17.0.1

Thanks, Jimbo

Except for when there are newer permits issued like in my case. Being their were no attachments on our original permit and with the home being completed in the fall of 2007, they must have started sometime after late '07.

Had to thank you twice in the same day for this info. I appreciate the folks who are so wise to locate this stuff.

Another Corona owed
 

Hi Jimbo2012,
What a great tip, just been on and had a look, everything works fine on 'Windows' and 'Google' browser.

Rather than download them all, do you know if you can you go to the planning department and request a copy?

Either way, thats another Corona i owe you. :wave:

yes I think U can get copies, they R in Wildwood

well, have given up. my house is 4 years old and there are no attachments listed so I guess that I cannot download a plot plan.

:bigbow:Jimbo, O Wise One. Thanks for the info. Looked it up on IPad, but will try my PC tomorrow to print.

Steve, thanks for the step by step directions and visuals, truly helped me!

Thank you both.:wave:
