Permit Issues | Need to Submit Plans

Hello BP,

I have have run into some permitting issues. I had the work done by licensed contractors, but I didn't have permits (I was told that they weren't needed initially). After an electrical inspection, I have been told that we need to get permits for the work that's been done. The only thing I have a question about are the "Plans". Does anyone know what's being referred to in #1 in the image below?

    @Ryan Copeland I preformed one of these most recently in a very small town and they wanted a drawing of the property for any changes made that could affect property lines. For the inside they wanted floor plan lay outs and general notes as to what was being changed and where. That was to give them an idea where specifically to inspect. I drew all mine by hand with my submission for the permit. I would reach out to the city you are working with for exactly what they are looking for to make sure you don't get in a bind. I have also been given bad information by a city clerk before and now request a "no inspection necessary" in writing to keep on hand just in case. Hope that helps good luck!
