Stock Plan Procedure

  1. Applicant is to submit two sets of plans for a given structure, including all options, for Stock Plan Review. Two sets of typical engineered foundation plans for such structure and all options must be submitted for review also.
  2. IF, the house is sold and the applicant wants to stock the plans, 4 sets of plans, (two to include all options), and two site specific with two sets of wet stamped engineered foundation plans showing the site specific options is required.
  3. The Stock Plans are reviewed by a Plans Examiner for codes compliance and structural concerns. (No applications for actual Building Permit are to be taken in at this point.)
  4. One set of the reviewed Stock Plan is returned to the applicant. This set will include all corrections that are to be made on the final stock plan. The applicant must then have the plans corrected, per the review notes, and resubmit two sets of the corrected Stock Plans for re-review.
  5. Once the Stock plans have been reviewed and found in compliance with requirements, the Plans Examiner will assign a Stock Plan number.
  6. One set of the compliant Stock plans will be returned to the applicant and Building Permits may be applied for under the given Stock Plan number. {Permits may be applied for unless there are Planning & Zoning issues still to be cleared up, which prevent submittal for Building Permit.}
  7. One set of the compliant Stock Plans will be marked with the Stock Plan number and filed in the Plans Examiners offices. Along with the Stock Plans a Stock Plan Information sheet will be created and filed that contains:
    1. All square footages for all levels of the structure, with options,
    2. Garage square footage, with options,
    3. Deck and Porch Square footage, with options,
    4. Other pertinent information as deemed needed.
  8. Building permit plan submittals under the Stock Plan process will not vary from regular Building permit plan submittals. A Plans Examiner will review the Stock plans submitted as soon as possible, along with any options, (to be highlighted or designated by the builder) against those on file. Typical plan review sign off is required.
  9. The Building Official may, in writing, suspend or revoke a Stock Plan when it has not been used within a 3-year period or when unapproved changes have been made in the field.
  10. Every three years or when Larimer County adopts new editions of the Codes, all Stock Plans must be done over to comply with new code requirements.
  11. There must be three or more Building Permit applications per year to qualify for Stock Plan status.
  12. The Stock Plan fee shall be 50% of the Plan Check fee. A full plan check fee is to be collected for the first plan set, of a given model to be reviewed, then 50% thereafter on other submittals for permit of the same model/stock plan number.

Note: If the original plans submitted for Stock Plan review are found to be in compliance with codes requirements upon the initial review, some of the steps listed herein may be altered.
