ProjectDox is DOB's online platform for the electronic submission of building plans and supporting documentation to be reviewed by DOB's plan reviewers.

Effective February 18, 2025, all new projects must be initiated in ProjectDox Version 9.3.

Version 9.1 will be available until August 18, 2025 for all existing projects initiated before February 18, 2025.

ProjectDox 9.1: File Your Permit Drawings Online

On Tuesday, February 18, 2025, we launched a major update to DOB's building plan submission and review system, ProjectDox (Version 9.3.8.7), that includes the following improvements:

1. A more stable, cloud-based experience

2. Simpler, user-friendly navigation

3. More self-help resources

We held several live recorded training opportunities on this updated platform. You may click below to view the recordings for the below sessions:

  • Session 1 | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM

  • Session 2 | 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Overall, this new platform will enhance our service delivery, increase the safety of the District’s built environment, and result in a better customer experience. 

Beginning February 18, 2025, existing projects initiated prior to Version 9.3's launch will remain in our legacy version of ProjectDox and must be completed and closed out in the old environment no later than August 18, 2025, in order to avoid needing to restart projects in the updated platform. 

As part of our efforts to enhance the security of our online systems ProjectDox users will be required to use an Access DC account to sign in.  To learn more about using your existing Access DC account or setting up an account, click here.
