New Online Portal Simplifies the Permit Process

The Community Development Department now offers a streamlined permitting process for building, planning, right of way, and tree permits. Paper applications are no longer accepted. Customers can submit applications, complete checklists, upload plans, and schedule inspections all through the new online Permit Portal. For questions on the portal, please visit the permit center.

Please note:
Payments cannot currently be made through the new system. To pay by
credit card, contact the Permit Technician at 206-957-2813. A 3%
processing fee applies to all credit/debit card payments (Visa,
MasterCard, and Discover only). Cash or check payments may be made in
person at City Hall, mailed, or placed in the City Hall drop box.
