Getting Started

The Permit Assistance pages provide help in navigating the codes and permit requirements that apply to most any construction or development project in the City of Edmonds.

IMPORTANT:  Make sure the property you are working with is actually in the City
before applying or looking for permit information ! !

Many "Edmonds" addresses are for properties that are actually in unincorporated areas -- not within City limits. Please check this map to make sure the property you are interested in is actually within the City of Edmonds. The shaded area on the map shows the Edmonds city limits.
