Facilities Development Division (FDD) Under $50K Program
IS YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT $50,000 OR LESS?
- The Under $50K Program
Construction or alteration projects with an estimated cost of $50,000 or less may be exempt from the OSHPD plan review process. A facility will still need a building permit prior to starting construction, but instead of OSHPD plan review, you can save time and money by submitting project plans to OSHPD stamped and signed by a licensed design professional.
Senate Bill 1838 (Chapter 693, Statute of 2006) authorized the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) to exempt from its plan review process construction or alteration projects for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities with estimated construction costs of $50,000 or less, if specified criteria are met.
Facilities have the option of submitting projects as outlined in the policy intent notice or using the standard OSHPD plan review process.
For more information about the program see Policy Intent Notice 36: Projects of $50,000 or Less - Exempt From Plan Review Process
For additional information contact an OSHPD Regional Plan Review Supervisor (RS) or Regional Compliance Officer (RCO) or 916-326-3608 to learn if your project qualifies for the program.
