Navigating the Edmonds B61 Permit Process for Home Additions
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Edmonds Building Permits
Planning a major residential addition or alteration in Edmonds, WA? Understanding the local permitting process is the first step toward a successful transformation. At Pacific Pro Group, we specialize in navigating the complexities of the Edmonds Planning & Development division so you don't have to.
1. Does Your Project Require a Permit?
According to current Edmonds code, a permit is required to "add, remodel, alter, enlarge, repair, or convert a dwelling." This includes almost everything beyond basic cosmetic upgrades.
2. The B61 Application Form
The "B61" is the standard informational handout for residential additions. It requires detailed submittal documents, including:
- Detailed Site Plans
- Structural Engineering Calculations
- Energy Code Compliance (WSEC)
- Critical Area Assessments (if near the Sound)
3. Why Design-Build is the Faster Route
Because we integrate structural engineering and design from Step 1, our permit submittals are often accepted faster by city reviewers. We monitor the city review process in real-time, minimizing delays for our luxury home addition clients.
