The City of Mountain View's Fast Track Plan Check program is designed to expedite the turn-around time for simple commercial interior plans to 5 working days.
Qualifying plans must be submitted to the Building Inspection Division between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. no later than Tuesday afternoon in order for that plan check to be processed by the following Monday. You will be able to call (650) 903-6313 after 1 p.m. the Friday following your submittal to inquire if your plans were approved or disapproved.
The following Monday, all the plans will be ready to be picked up at the Building Inspection Division counter.
