Withdrawing an Application

Only agency staff can withdraw applications that have been submitted for processing and are in progress. Activities associated with the application are also canceled or withdrawn.

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 business license applications with one of these statuses:
  • Submitted

  • In Progress

  • Plan Review

  • Permit Issued

  • Inspection

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 inspections

  • Open plan review cycles and reviewers

The system status of the application changes to Withdrawn.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.
