'Fee Schedules'  and 'Brochure' will give you an indication of the permit costs.

You can discuss your project with a building plans reviewer during regular business hours. Appointments are not required. For questions, contact us at (509) 682-8017.  Permit applications are accepted between 8 am and 5 pm, Monday thru Friday.

Single Family Residential Permit Applications

If you are looking to build a new home, remodel your existing home,  replace a water heater, replace or modify a deck more than 30 inches above the grade, or add a garage or carport, you will also need to apply for a building permit.    If you are not sure if a building permit is required, please call our building department or refer to our 'tip sheet'.

Commercial Permits Applications

New commercial buildings include three or more residential units or a single residential unit in a mixed use building.  New additions, improvements, or change of use to an existing building require a building permit.
