The different types of permits in Hunts Point
Hunts Point publishes separate packets for building, mechanical, plumbing, site development, tree, right-of-way, shoreline, and land-use applications. Electrical permits come from Washington Labor & Industries and fire-sprinkler permits from Bellevue.
Official starting point: Hunts Point permit packets. Match the full scope to the current city requirements before submitting.
One project can need more than one permit
A building permit does not automatically replace every trade, site, tree, fire, utility, right-of-way, or land-use approval. List the whole scope first, then confirm which reviews are combined and which require separate records.

- Write the complete scope, including structural, system, site, tree, utility, access, and public-area work.
- Open the official source for every permit family that matches the scope.
- Check whether the primary permit includes that discipline or requires a related application.
- Confirm the permit set with city staff or the design team before paying for final drawings.
- Track related permit numbers together so a smaller approval does not hold up the project.
