Tips for success when submitting an application
- All documents are required to be in PDF format.
- Plan sets are now required to be split into the following submittals -
- Architectural Plan Set
- Civil Plan Set
- Structural Plan Set
- Each plan set must be contained in one document, i.e., individual sheets comprising a plan set are no longer allowed.
- Please follow these naming conventions when submitting documents:
- Commercial building permit application submittals
- Residential building permit application submittals
- When resubmitting plans, submit entire corrected set, do not extract and submit single pages
The Process for Revisions
- Email a revision form along with your documents to permittingsubmittal@bainbridgewa.gov.
- A permit specialist will upload your documents and change the status to “info received”. This will put the permit back into the reviewers queue for review.
