Kirkland corrections
How Kirkland permit corrections and revisions work
Kirkland's review activity uses version labels such as V1, V2, and V3. Corrections Needed shifts the next action to the applicant; a later Under Review entry shows that a response is back with the city.

Pre-issuance review versions
V1 is the first review. V2 and V3 usually follow revised submissions. Departments can approve in different versions, so focus on the latest row for each discipline.
Respond as one coordinated team
- Create a comment-response matrix.
- Assign each comment to the architect, engineer, arborist, civil consultant, or owner.
- Update every affected drawing and calculation.
- Cross-check that one response does not contradict another discipline.
- Record the actual upload date.
Post-issuance revisions reset labels
A post-issuance change can appear as V1 again. Use the notes, assignment date, and overall Revision in Review status to distinguish it from the original first review.
Practical homeowner guide
Treat every Kirkland correction response as one coordinated update
Treat every resubmittal like a coordinated project milestone. A fast partial answer can create another round if related drawings, calculations, specifications, and consultant narratives do not change together.
Coordinate every comment before resubmitting
At the start of every round, freeze the city comment set and create one response log. Each row should name the department, exact comment, responsible consultant, proposed response, affected sheets or calculations, and completion status. The permit coordinator should resolve conflicting answers before upload. For example, a grading change requested by Public Works may also alter tree protection, foundation design, accessibility, or architectural elevations.
Before resubmitting, compare every revised document against the response log and run a coordination check across disciplines. Record the date the complete package was accepted, not merely the date a consultant emailed a draft. After review restarts, follow the latest version for each department separately. Some reviewers may approve while another requests additional work, so the overall permit headline can obscure who actually owns the next action.
Part 1 · Organize
Put every comment in one shared list
Copy every comment into a shared log with the review discipline, owner, response, affected sheets, due date, and completion status. Keep resolved and open comments visible until the upload is accepted.
Part 2 · Coordinate
Check how one change affects the other plans
A grading change can affect structure, trees, drainage, height, utilities, and architecture. Require each consultant to check downstream impacts rather than editing only the sheet named in the comment.
Part 3 · Prove
Submit one clear, consistent revision
Cloud changes consistently, update dates and indexes, replace superseded files as instructed, and state exactly where each correction was made. Save the accepted upload and assignment date.
Common questions
What homeowners usually ask
What do V1, V2, and V3 mean in Kirkland review activity?
They generally identify successive pre-issuance review versions, but a post-issuance revision can restart its own labels. Read the status, dates, notes, and permit phase together rather than assuming every V1 is the original review.
Should the architect answer city comments one department at a time?
The work can be assigned by discipline, but the package should be coordinated before submission. Separate uncoordinated responses increase the risk that one department's fix creates a problem for another.
When does the city-review clock restart?
Use the accepted resubmittal or new assignment shown in the official record, not the day someone emailed a draft response. Confirm that the upload was received and routed to every department that must re-review.
