The jurisdiction's examination of submitted plans for code compliance before a permit is issued.
Plan review is where applications wait: reviewers check drawings against building, fire, energy, and zoning codes and issue corrections. Time in review is why a project can be public knowledge in a planning feed months before a permit exists — and why the issued permit, when it finally lands, is the moment a job becomes callable work for the trades.
