How to Apply
Due to the current high transmission rates of Covid-19, community members are encouraged to access Development Services staff remotely to help reduce the spread of the virus and keep our community safer.
Applications for Construction Permits and Land Use Development projects can be submitted either online or in-person. Online applications for permits are either through the Redmond ePermitting Service (REPS), if it is an over-the-counter permit OR through the Plan Review Online (PRO) request form, if it requires plan review. If the Construction Permit or Land Use Development application you are applying for is unavailable online, then an in-person application is required. For Building/Fire/Trade permit application, an appointment is recommended to guarantee service during your appointment window.
