1. Do I need a permit for a fence?

Please see our Decks & Fences page for more information.

2. How do I know where my property lines are?

In newer-platted areas you may find corner markers — look for a piece of rebar in the ground. The Permit Center or King County may have plat maps to assist you in finding your property lines and/or dimensions. Please be aware that ultimately it is up to the property owner to verify property line locations, which may require a professional survey.

3. Can I pay for my permit with a credit card?

Permits applied for online at MyBuildingPermit.com may be paid with a credit card up to $2,000. Payments over $2,000 must be paid by cash or check at the Permit Center.

The Permit Center only accepts cash or check for paper applications.
