What shapes a project in Kennewick

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. What needs a residential permit

    Kennewick requires a residential building permit for a new single-family home, a remodel or addition, or a miscellaneous residential project. Finish work such as painting, tiling, carpeting and cabinets is exempt. So are detached accessory structures of 200 square feet or less that meet setbacks, and retaining walls no more than 4 feet high from footing to top.

  2. Express or over-the-counter review

    Kennewick applicants choose between express permitting, which adds a convenience fee, and standard over-the-counter review. Express applications for new single-family homes are made online, while miscellaneous residential express permits are handled in person. Plans must show the parcel or tax ID number, which the city's Parcel Map can look up.
