BUILDING PERMITS
  

General Information

A Building Permit is required to erect, construct, alter, repair, move, improve, convert, or demolish any building or structure.  A permit is not required for any accessory structure under 120 square feet per IRC R105.2 #1.  All setback requirements shall apply, whether a permit is required or not.  

Below you will find a list of permits and brief descriptions of their purposes. If you are unsure or new to building in Bonney Lake please contact our Permit Technicians to ensure you are using the proper applications.

For more information please see our
Permitting and Setbacks Residential Informational Handout (170K).

Fast Track Permitting

The City of Bonney Lake Fast Track Permits are designed to expedite the permit process for simple projects which do not require extensive plan review. Fast Track Permits are issued for minor alterations to existing building elements, additions (under 500 sq. ft.), as well as minor alterations to existing plumbing and mechanical systems. Fast Track Permits cannot establish a use. They are available for projects where the work involves no changes in the location of the structure, or structural changes requiring engineered design by a licensed professional engineer. Please review our Introduction to Fast Track Permitting sheet to learn about the process and requirements.

The Fast Track Commercial Application and the Fast Track Residential application are available to download on our Forms Page.

For more information please contact one of our Permit Technicians.
