This building permit is for the construction of a project that must satisfy the criteria for over the counter issuance. This building permit is limited to the identified scope and has been approved for issuance based on how the scope was represented to Kitsap County. Approval for issuance of this permit is granted without the benefit of construction document review and without detailed plans and specifications.
LIMITED SCOPE OF BUILDING PERMIT. Over the counter building permits are strictly limited to the scope of work as identified within the permit application. No additional work, remodeling or expansion beyond the identified scope is authorized. Any changes in the scope of work will require additional review and/or additional permits.
FIELD CORRECTIONS AS REQUIRED: The construction of the permitted project is subject to inspections by the Kitsap County Department of Community Development. Though no review has occurred, it remains imperative that all construction be done in full compliance with Kitsap County Code (KCC), including the Kitsap County Building & Fire Code as adopted in KCC 14.04.040, along with all of the codes adopted by reference therein. Any corrections, changes or alterations required by a Kitsap County Building or Fire Inspector shall be made prior to requesting additional inspections.

Interior Remodeling Insulation: All exterior wall cavities exposed during construction or remodeling work shall be insulated to the full depth of the wall cavity and inspected prior to covering.
|
|
Permit Expiration: Building permits expire 365 days after permit issuance, or 180 days after the last approved inspection activity is performed. The Building Official may extend the time for action for a period not exceeding 180 days, upon the receipt of a written extension request indicating that circumstances beyond the control of the permit holder have prevented action from being taken. Additional fees may be due to reactivate the permit.
|
|
ELECTRICAL WORK. If electrical work is proposed, a separate electrical permit is required. You can contact Labor and Industries (L&I) at www.lni.wa.gov to obtain an electrical permit. Electrical systems must be inspected by L&I prior to requesting a framing inspection and final approval granted prior to requesting a final building inspection from the Department of Community Development.
|
|
Reinspection Fee: All approved plans for this permit and the printed building permit with conditions are required to be on-site for inspection purposes, and work to be inspected shall be complete and ready for inspection. If an inspection is called for and plans are not available on site, or the work is not ready for inspection, or if previously identified corrections have not been made, approval will not be granted. In addition, a re-inspection fee will be charged and must be collected by the Department of Community Development prior to any further inspections being performed or approvals granted.
|
|
Final Inspection Required: All building permits shall have a final inspection performed and approved by the Kitsap County Department of Community Development prior to permit expiration. The failure to request a final inspection or failure to obtain final approval prior to expiration will be documented in the legal property records on file with Kitsap County as being non-compliant with Kitsap County ordinances and building regulations and will be referred to Kitsap County Code Compliance for action.
|
|
Demolition: All demolition debris shall be properly transported to, and disposed of within an approved solid waste facility. The property shall be left in a clean, safe condition, protected from erosion. Copies of disposal receipts shall be provided to the Department of Community Development prior to final inspection. Any demolition work that does not remove the entire structure, shall be performed such that no structural member remains undermined or left in any position or situation that could cause harm to any person or property. Partial demolition shall not cause any portion of a building to become unsafe. For information regarding asbestos removal or lead abatement, contact Puget Sound Clean Air Agency at (206) 343-8800. All asbestos and hazardous material removal shall comply with all requirements of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA). Copies of documents submitted to PSCAA shall be forwarded to the Department of Community Development prior to requesting final inspection.

Detectors Required. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors must be installed throughout the building in all locations required by the IRC. Detectors installed in existing buildings may be solely battery-operated when interconnecting would require the removal of wall or ceiling finishes. Maintenance of such devices shall be the responsibility of the owner.
