Building 101: Requesting Withdrawal of a Building Application (Post Submittal)

Modified on Wed, 21 Oct at 9:25 AM

Once you have submitted an application in Cloudpermit, you can withdraw it if needed. This process allows applicants to retract their submission before the municipal building department completes the review. Here's how to withdraw a submitted application: 

Steps to Withdraw a Submitted Application:

  1. Initiate Withdrawal:
    1. Navigate to the application workspace.
    2. Click the Options button.


    3. Select WITHDRAW APPLICATION from the drop-down list.



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



  3. Confirmation and Status:
    1. Your withdrawal request will be forwarded to the municipal building department.
    2. The application status changes to WITHDRAWAL REQUESTED until the withdrawal is reviewed and approved.
       


Canceling a Withdrawal:

  1. Initiate Cancellation:
    1. If you wish to cancel the withdrawal, navigate to the application workspace and click the Options button.
       

       
    2. Click Cancel Withdrawal.
       

       
  2. Confirm Cancellation:
    1. Enter your Reason for Cancelling Withdrawal, then confirm the cancellation by clicking YES.
       
       



  3. Confirmation:
    1. The withdrawal request is canceled, and the municipal building department is notified.
    2. 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.
