Which entity stamps and dates plans after plan review?

• A. Plan Reviewer
• B. Code Official
• C. Architect
• D. Building Owner

Answer: (B)

The final stamp and date on plans come from the authority responsible for approving permits and enforcing the code. That role is the Code Official, who reviews the drawings, ensures they meet applicable codes, and then seals and dates them to authorize permit issuance. The plan reviewer may have checked for compliance, but the official seal represents formal approval to proceed. The architect designs and details the project, but does not grant approval for construction, and the building owner is the project owner, not the approving authority.
