This updated platform modernizes the way customers submit materials, track progress, and communicate with city staff, providing a faster, more accessible, and more transparent experience for all users
The city of Battle Ground is excited to announce the implementation of electronic plan review. eReview offers a streamlined, fully paperless process for submitting requests for permits, planning applications, and engineering applications, starting December 1, 2025.
This updated platform modernizes the way customers submit materials, track progress, and communicate with city staff, providing a faster, more accessible, and more transparent experience for all users.
“This launch represents an important step forward in how we serve our community,” said Community Development Director Kristin Lehto. “By moving to a paperless system, we’re improving efficiency, reducing wait times, and giving residents and businesses a convenient tool to stay informed throughout every stage of their project.”
Key benefits of the updated online system
- Paperless Submittal & Review: Upload documents directly online, reducing trips to City Hall and reducing the need for printed plan sets.
- Increased Convenience: Applications can be submitted anytime, from anywhere, allowing customers to move at their own pace.
- Real-Time Transparency: Track your application status, review comments, and required actions, with clear communication between applicants and City staff.
- Greater Efficiency: Digital workflows help accelerate review timelines, minimize back-and-forth, and ensure complete and accurate submissions.
- Centralized Access: All documents, corrections, and approvals remain in one secure location for easy reference.
The city encourages homeowners, builders, contractors, and design professionals to explore the updated Customer Self Service (CSS) platform and experience the benefits firsthand.
