New Guide to Help Reduce Multifamily Building Permit Application Errors

Apartment building.

During the permitting process, we often see recurring mistakes in applications such as Incorrect addresses across an application, incomplete information on plans, and missing permits from other city departments. To help you avoid errors that could require you to resubmit application information or wait through several permitting cycles, we have published the Top Mistakes We See for Multifamily Building Permits. This document, a comprehensive list of the most common errors for multifamily housing, is posted on our Applicant Services Center webpage. SDCI co-developed this document with the Seattle Department of Transportation Street Use, Seattle Fire Department, and Seattle Public Utilities and Solid Waste to reduce correction cycles and save you time.
