Some permits, including right-of-way permits, fire permits, and tree removal permits, are excluded from this requirement so be sure to visit the City’s webpage at www.ci.woodinville.wa.us/Work/PermitForms.asp  for specifics.
The changes are designed as a phased program to switch all permits to electronic submittal by the end of 2013. Electronic permitting reduces permitting time, improves customer service and staff efficiency, standardizes building site information, and improves record keeping and reliable archiving. Â
