Steps to Withdraw a Submitted Application:
- Initiate Withdrawal:
- Navigate to the application workspace.
- Click the Options button.

- Select WITHDRAW APPLICATION from the drop-down list.

- Provide Reason and Confirm:
- Enter the reason for the withdrawal. Then, click YES.

- Enter the reason for the withdrawal. Then, click YES.
- Confirmation and Status:
- Your withdrawal request will be forwarded to the municipal building department.
- The application status changes to WITHDRAWAL REQUESTED until the withdrawal is reviewed and approved.
Canceling a Withdrawal:
- Initiate Cancellation:
- If you wish to cancel the withdrawal, navigate to the application workspace and click the Options button.
- Click Cancel Withdrawal.
- If you wish to cancel the withdrawal, navigate to the application workspace and click the Options button.
- Confirm Cancellation:

- Confirmation:
- The withdrawal request is canceled, and the municipal building department is notified.
- The application returns to the SUBMITTED step, awaiting the review process.
Note: The Withdraw application option is only available if the following conditions are met:
- The user is an applicant or agent with submittal permissions. Authority users, property owners, payers, and modify-only users normally do not have this option.
- The application is in a state that permits withdrawal, such as Submitted, In Review, Changes Requested, or In Approval.
- The user is viewing the main Application workspace, not a form, permits page, execution phase, archiving phase, or another subpage.
- A withdrawal has not already been requested.
Cloudpermit allows applicants to manage their submissions efficiently by providing the option to withdraw submitted applications. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance.
