To make the permit process as straightforward as possible, the City of Seattle has developed a Street Improvement Permit Process Information packet. This packet has three sections, each of which can function independently or as a whole. However, each section focuses on a different part of the development and permit process. Below are brief explanations of each section of the packet as well as the web link.
- The Applicant/Developer Information Section is designed to help you understand and to meet the requirements that each applicant/developer must meet in of the City of Seattle’s street right-of-way improvement permit process.
- The Engineer/Designer Information Section explains the steps required of engineers/designers (including architects) in the City of Seattle’s street right-of-way improvement permit process.
- The Contractor Information Section explains the steps required of contractors in the City of Seattle’s street right-of-way improvement permit process.
With all of the permitting requirements, it is the sole responsibility of the applicant to obtain the necessary building permits for their building/development project. It will also be important to obtain and coordinate the required (if any) SDOT permits – prior to construction. It is also the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all required permits are obtained prior to project construction. Problems that occur during construction that are due to the lack of coordination with SDOT are the responsibility of the Applicant. |
