Seattle Home Fair

November 2025 Home Fairs

Join us at the Seattle Home Fair at the Filipino community center on November 8, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., for face-to-face help from City experts who specialize in permits, inspections, code requirements, and rental regulations.

This year, we are partnering with the Seattle Department of Transportation to offer right-of-way permitting assistance and the Department of Neighborhoods to share community space project opportunities for a one-stop shop experience for all your project needs.

Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, renter, or potential homeowner, the Home Fairs have something for you. Don’t forget to RSVP to let us know you’re coming!

What to Expect

Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, landlord, or planning your first project, you’ll find practical information and helpful people ready to answer your questions:

  • Ask building experts about construction codes and when you need a “subject-to-field” inspection.
  • Learn more about what you can do to retrofit your home from an earthquake.
  • Get tips on reducing your environmental impact through energy efficiency.
  • Discover what’s now required for a legal rent increase in Seattle.
  • Explore what you can do in your community with Neighborhood match funds

With 20+ areas of expertise and over 6 hours of live learning sessions, the Home Fair is your chance to learn how to work within City processes and achieve your project goals.
