**Review and Approval Process**\ After submission, your project will be routed to multiple Union County departments for review. Each department must provide its comments and recommendations before an approval or denial can be issued. Please note that no official decision will be released until all applicable fees are paid in full and all reviewing departments have completed their evaluations. \ Once a project has been submitted, no additional documents may be uploaded until the review process has been completed. This helps maintain consistency during the review process. After the project has been submitted, you'll receive an email with payment instructions. After the review, you will receive an email notification whether your project has been approved or denied. If your submission is denied, you may then upload revised documents addressing the required corrections.
