PERMITS OVERVIEW


The various permits we provide can be broken up into four categories: Commercial Construction, Residential, Special, and Operational. Click below for information and forms within any of these categories.

For commercial construction permits and residential installation type permits, contact permittech@rentonwa.gov for information on how to submit permit applications and plans for review. Permit staff may also be reached by calling the City of Renton Permit Center at 425-430-7200.  NO paper documents are accepted at the City of Renton Permit Center.  All documents must be submitted in electronic format.  See City of Renton Electronic File Standards.

ONLY residential tank removal and abandonment permits, special permits, and operational permits are available over-the-counter via email or in person from the Office of the Fire Marshal. Submittals may be emailed to tdauenhauer@rentonrfa.org. Alternatively, the Office of the Fire Marshal permit counter is located at Fire Station 14, 1900 Lind Avenue SW and is open Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed on holidays. No appointment required. Hard copy submittals accepted. Because a fire safety inspection is necessary, Mobile Food Facility Permit applications do require an appointment by calling 425-276-9580.

No commercial construction permit or residential installation permit submittals will be accepted by the Office of the Fire Marshal.

The above information is intended to be helpful; however, applicants are advised to refer to individual permit applications for detailed instructions specific to that application.

SPECIAL PERMITS


Special permits are issued to building or property occupants that meet specific standards or conditions in accordance with local zoning. Businesses may be required to carry special permits for the benefit of the community. These permits provide local agencies with information needed to safeguard residential or commercial neighborhoods from building or land uses that may have an adverse effect on the community at large, such as increased noise, odor, traffic, or fire and life safety hazards.

Applications for these permits may be emailed to tdauenhauer@rentonrfa.org. For in-person submittals, the Office of the Fire Marshal permit counter is located at Fire Station 14, 1900 Lind Ave SW and is open Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed on holidays.  No appointment is required and hard copy submittals are accepted.
