About In-Person Permit Center Services

Visitors are encouraged to wear masks, but it is not a requirement. Masks are available at City Hall and free for any visitor who wants one.  In addition, hand sanitizing stations and increased cleaning procedures are in place.

Permit Center is available to the public to answer general questions about the permit process.

• Questions about an existing project that has a permit number should go directly to the assigned reviewer. Contact information can be found by checking the permit status at MyBuildingPermit.com. 

• Those seeking information about a specific project or parcel should submit for Project Guidance.

Permits will not be issued as a result of a Permit Center visit or meeting. Customers that are ready to submit an application can do so at MyBuildingPermit.com. 

Please email permittech@sammamish.us to request an appointment for Mondays and Wednesdays.
