The City of Redmond advises the community not to respond to suspicious requests and to confirm authenticity using verified contact information. 

    Unsure if an email or other communication is legitimate?

The Development Services Center (DSC) is responsible for reviewing and issuing a wide array of Land Use and Construction Permits ranging from simple same day permits to complex development projects.

The permit you need to execute your project will depend on what type of project you are working on. The DSC has staff from Planning, Building, Civil and Fire Prevention available to answer questions and guide you through the application process.
