Overview
The City of Toronto's applicant guide to the Application Submission Tool, the platform for starting a planning application online, attaching supporting documents and submitting it for review, published by Development Review at version 1.0. Broader than the tool's pre-application consultation meeting guide, its thirty-two pages walk through account creation and password reset, the dashboard, starting an application by type and address, adding people and documents, submission and confirmation, the six statuses an application moves through, updating a submission, and resubmission with its fees.
