Building Permits

Residential Permits

Residential building permits are for new residential construction, additions, and alterations. We also have a separate residential permit for manufactured/modular homes. Visit our permitting and land use resources & checklists page prior to applying for a permit to ensure you have everything you need.

Commercial Permits

Commercial permits are used for new commercial construction, remodels, tenant improvements, change of use, and change of occupant. Included with the application is a checklist which may not apply to all projects. The City of Sequim adopted the 2021 Washington State Building Code as well as local regulations per SMC Chapter 15.04.  Applicants are encouraged to use these resources throughout their project to ensure they are within compliance.

The City of Sequim went live with permitting software in late October 2024. To apply for a permit or sign up for an account, please visit our portal by clicking on the box below.
