Welcome to the Island County Online Permit Center

Building Permit Requirements Changing - Effective March 1, 2024:

To submit a building permit in Island County, a site registration and septic design, along with approved access permit, address, and water availability verification, will be required starting March 1, 2024.  Septic Design does not require approval, but must be completed by a qualified septic designer.  Permits without these items will not be accepted for submittal.

Our Permit Center provides online public access to the current status of permits, inspection details and access to application materials and submitted documentation. Other available services include reviewing public notices, viewing inspection activity and results and viewing scheduled inspections. Our goal is to make conducting business in Island County simpler and more efficient for our citizens. At this time we have a number of permits avaiable to submit online and are working towards many more in the future. 

Registered Users can:

* Apply for permits digitally using PDF submittal documentation

* Pay permit invoices

* Track status of permit applications

* Request inspections & review inspection results
