Permit processing can be a simple process or quite complex depending on several factors. There are numerous types of permits (see the column to the left) depending on the scope of work for your project.
A typical application will require:
- Floor plan layout with all room uses labeled
- Foundation detail
- Wall Framing / Cross section detail
- Floor framing (If using an engineered floor system, provide the engineering.)
- Roof framing detail (If using a manufactured truss system, provide truss layout and individual truss sheet detail which must be stamped by engineer licensed in Washington State)
- Elevations
- Engineering or calculations (stamped by engineer currently licensed in the Washington State)
