How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to Seattle, WA. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

Construction permit check for window or door replacement scope

SDCI's permit guidance says most projects in Seattle require a permit and that minor repairs or alterations up to the listed value may be exempt, but it also says permits are required for work on load-bearing supports, changes to the building envelope, and work that reduces egress, light, ventilation, or fire resistance. Window and door projects should therefore confirm with SDCI whether the replacement is limited in-kind work or whether a construction permit is needed because the work changes the envelope, opening, egress, structural support, or fire-resistance conditions.
