Send Us a Question

Our Question & Answer Service is for general questions; we typically respond within 2 days.

For some inquiries, you will have better results using other resources. If you haven't already, please review our website for answers, such as Director's Rules and Tips outlining typical standards for single-family development and other frequently asked questions. For the best service, please consider using the following resources before submitting your question:

• See our How Do You Get a Permit page.
• See our Seattle Services Portal Help Center.
• See our Comment on a Project page.
• Questions about a review? Find your assigned reviewer in the Seattle Services Portal.
• For some complex questions or review of your drawings or plans, you may need to apply for a paid coaching appointment, a land use pre-submittal conference, or a construction pre-submittal conference.
• We have a trial live chat feature (in the right column) that you can use to get answers to your questions. If we can't answer your question by chat, we'll create a ticket to resolve your issue. If you use the trial chat feature, please don't also use our Send Us a Question form; that will create duplicate tickets.
