Joint Plan Review

*NEW FOR 2025* Meetings are available for request in the Builder’s Portal (user credentials required)

Joint Plan Review (JPR) is a free, voluntary, and informal virtual meeting that is available to applicants that are seeking to develop real property in the County.   Meetings consist of staff members from various county departments that are directly involved with development plan review.  JPR is a great opportunity for an applicant to obtain preliminary feedback on a conceptual site design as well as information on the plan review process and submittal requirements.   Because JPR is a forum for the applicant to obtain technical information from staff, it is recommended that external attendees be familiar with applicable Berkeley County ordinances and include a certified design professional.  Meetings are held in 45-minute time blocks and scheduled by appointment only on a first-come-first-serve basis on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month.  Telephone/Video Conference information will be provided to applicants upon scheduling.

CANCELLATION: If you need to cancel an appointment, please contact the Plan Case Admin at vog.csytnuocyelekrebobfsctd@nimdaesacnalp.  ***Attendance of the Applicant(s) is expected.  It takes staff time and resources to prepare for scheduled meetings. If, due to a change in plans, you are unavailable or no longer need the scheduled timeslot, please notify us immediately to prevent loss of staff resources. Applicants who fail to attend 2 registered sessions will be barred from reapplying for the same or other projects.***
