Who stamps and dates plans after plan review?

• A. Plans Examiner
• B. Code Official
• C. Building Inspector
• D. Fire Chief

Answer: (B)

The stamping and dating of plans after plan review is done by the Code Official, the authority having jurisdiction. After a plans examiner completes the technical review and any required corrections are addressed, the Code Official signs and dates the plans to indicate they meet the applicable codes and are approved for permit issuance. The plans examiner is the reviewer, not the signer, and building inspectors work in the field to verify compliance during construction, while the Fire Chief is not the standard issuer of plan approvals. This stamp from the Code Official gives formal authorization to move forward with permitting and construction.
