Building Permit
Information & Forms
Building permit applications
undergo consistency review to ensure compliance with the UDC,
Comprehensive Plan, and State and Federal laws. Some building
permits involve associated land use applications, such as a
Conditional Use Permit, Variance, or Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit. The
Master
Permit Application form
is the standard building permit application.
Supplemental information may be required. Refer to the list of forms linked to
each building permit type below and check with a Permit
Technician.
For information on the land use
permit review process and types of land use permits, visit the Development
Review Division page. For land use permit fees,
information sheets, and application forms, visit the Permit
Information & Application Forms page.
*Fees are due at time of
application. Consult with a Permit
Technician for information on building permit fees. A land use
permit fee schedule summary is available on-line as noted above.
