Olympia's Permit Center has updated its online system to streamline building permits, inspections, and final inspections for residents and contractors. The new portal allows users to schedule inspections, track permit status, and access required forms and fee schedules.

Residents must now schedule inspections through the Online Permit Portal within five business days of needing an inspection. An access code is required to set up an account, which can be obtained by calling 360. 753. 8314. The system allows users to choose AM or PM inspection times, with more specific timeframes available by calling the Permit Center on the morning of the inspection.

The Permit Center is located at Olympia City Hall, 601 4th Avenue E, and is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The center can be reached by phone at 360. 753. 8314 or email at [email protected] for assistance with permit-related questions.
