Withdrawing an Application

Only agency staff can withdraw applications that have been submitted for processing and are in progress.

Agency staff can withdraw applications with a system status of Submitted or in-progress statuses on behalf of an applicant. An applicant can’t initiate an application withdrawal in the system.

You can withdraw permit applications with one of these statuses:
  • Submitted

  • In Progress

  • Plan Review

  • Permit Issued

  • Inspection

And you can withdraw planning applications with one of these statuses:
  • Submitted

  • In Progress

  • Hearing

When you withdraw an application that is in progress, the system also cancels or withdraws any of the following that are associated with the application:

  • Open permit inspections

  • Open plan review cycles and reviewers

  • Scheduled pre-application meetings

  • Scheduled public hearings

  • Tracked planning application activities

The system status of the application changes to Withdrawn.

For information about canceling an application that hasn’t been submitted yet and is still in a pending status, see Canceling an Application.
