Permit fees

Effective January 1, 2012, the fees and rates charged by the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services (DDES) for permitting services have been updated per ordinance 17224. To make permit fees more predictable, most land use and site development inspection fees have been converted from hourly charges to fixed fees amounts for new applications in 2012.

For a list of current permits fees, see the 2012 Fee Schedule. NOTE: More than one fee may apply to an application or permit.

Determining Fee Requirements

Fees for permits issued by DDES for unincorporated King County depend upon:

  • the type of permit,

  • the size of the project,

  • the scope of the project, and

  • site issues, including drainage and critical areas.

The most common types of fees applicable to construction projects include:

1. Permit administration fees are charged when a permit application is accepted and when a permit is issued.

2. Building plan review and inspection fees are determined by the new square footage of the project and its value of construction, using cost estimates published by the International Conference of Building Officials. Applicants are required to submit the fee for plan review at intake; inspection fees are due at the time of permit issuance.

3. Erosion Control Inspection Fee is due at issuance for any building project requiring soil disturbance. The inspection fees range from $89.25 to $242.55 depending on the type of residential project.

4. Mechanical review and inspection fees are charged when permit applications are accepted and when permits are issued.

5. Zoning and site conditions review is required on most commercial projects and on all new residences proposing over 2,000 square feet of impervious surface and may be required due to other site-related issues/conditions. A fixed review fee is due at application intake, the amount of which depends on the type of construction. For a new single family residence, the fee is $749.70. If site conditions require site engineering for drainage, road design, fire flow, or other review, additional site engineering review fees will be required. These additional fees will be due at the time of permit issuance.

6. Critical areas review may be necessary for some projects that show critical areas either on the project site or on an adjacent property. Additional review fees may be assessed and will be due at permit issuance. These fees can range from an initial site inspection charge of $392.70 to review fees of $2,499 if the applicant chooses a preferred consultant to study critical areas.

7. Clearing and grading or forest practice review may be necessary for some projects. The review fees are based upon the extent of clearing and are due at permit issuance.

8. Fire flow and access review is required of most building permits. Fees are due at permit intake and range from $89.25 to $535.50 depending on the type of occupancy and sprinkler requirement.

9. New septic systems, permitted by the Public Health Department, may require first obtaining a Critical Areas Designation. Please refer to Customer Information Bulletin #21, Critical Areas Review, for more information. Improvements on properties serviced by an existing septic system are also required to be reviewed and approved by the Public Health Department prior to the issuance of a permit. (Current Wastewater Program fees can be found here)

10. School impact fees are assessed at the time of permit intake for all new residential dwelling units. Replacement residences are exempt from this fee for three years. In addition to the school impact fee, a nonrefundable administrative fee of $65 per dwelling unit is charged to those projects subject to a school impact fee and these fees are collected at permit issuance. Please refer to Customer Information Bulletin #46, School Impact Mitigation Measures, for a list of school districts and their impact fees. School impact fees are updated annually by ordinance, and are collected by DDES oin behalf of school districts.

11. Road MPS (Mitigated Payment System) fees re also assessed at intake for all new residences. There are over 450 MPS zones within unincorporated King County. Customers can determine their MPS zone by using Parcel Viewer or iMAP (King County's online property search tools at http://your.kingcounty.gov/gis/Mapportal/iMAP_main.htm) to locate their property and then the property’s Districts Report where the Roads MPS Zone is listed. To find the fee per zone, go online to http://www.kingcounty.gov/transportation/kcdot/Roads/TransportationPlanning/MitigationPaymentSystem/FeeSchedule.aspx. Road MPS fees and an associated $60 administrative fee are due at permit issuance. The Road MPS fee is collected by DDES on behalf of the County Department of Transportation..

12. State Building Code. All building permits are assessed $4.50 for maintenance of the State Building Code. This fee is collected by DDES on behalf of the state.

Most permit fees charged by DDES are fixed amounts. To assist applicants in estimating the permits fee applicable to their projects, DDES is developing a fee calculator for public use on the DDES web-site. Installation of the on-line fee calculator is expected by the end of 2012.

Hourly Fee Estimates

For projects that are subject to hourly charges instead of fixed fees, applicants may request a pre-application conference with DDES staff for the preparation of a detailed and binding fee estimate.
