Effective October 16, 2006, the Building Department will no
longer require submittal of truss options A or B for residential

before an inspection can be performed. In addition, the
specifications must be signed and sealed by a registered

job address on the specs. Once the rough inspection is
approved the inspector is to take (1) one copy back to office to

With regards to the plan review, a truss layout must be
submitted along with the plans to be reviewed. In
addition, the plans must show structural point loads, header
material, header sizes, laminated beams, micro lams, etc.
The procedure for submittal of any “nonresidential” truss
