Starting July 24, 2023, all plan checks will be done electronically through our new system DigEplan. You may contact the Plan Review division for plan check questions or questions about this system. Adam Yas – 661-267-5326 or ayas@cityofpalmdale.org or Adham Alkalidi – 661-267-5322 or aalkalidi@cityofpalmdale.org.
