Find the official authorities and local documents to bring into your review. Start with the project’s state, then confirm the city, county, and any specialty agency that reviews the work.

Before uploading

Identify the rules for the actual site

  1. Confirm the authority

    A state code office may publish the standards while a city, county, or specialty agency reviews the application. Establish each reviewer’s scope.

  2. Record the code basis

    Confirm the adopted edition, effective date, amendments, and project-specific conditions. A proposed update may not yet govern your permit.

  3. Bring the evidence

    Supply the relevant reference PDFs and current project documents. Groundbook links potential findings to sources for professional verification; permit approval remains with the responsible authority.
