Plan Check Responses Must Be Submitted via DigEplan Starting July 7, 2025

To streamline the building plan review process, the City of Santa Barbara will require applicants to provide digital correction responses through our electronic plan review system, DigEplan, beginning July 7, 2025.

This change allows correction responses to be directly linked to individual reviewer comments, helping to:

  • Accelerate review times
  • Minimize miscommunication
  • Improve accuracy and efficiency for both applicants and City staff

By moving to a fully digital system, we’re strengthening coordination and enabling applicants to move through the permitting process faster. Written correction response documents will no longer be accepted as a complete submittal after June 23, 2025.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, please see the
Respond to Digital Comments section (page 33) of the ACA User Guide.

If you have questions about this change, please contact the Building & Safety Division at BLDOnline@SantaBarbaraCA.Gov.
