In an abundance of caution due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus, Community Development is closed to most in-person services.
The closure decision was made in consideration of the health of customers, employees and the community. We encourage our customers to use online services. Customers may contact staff by phone or email.
In-person services
All in-person services at the Permit Center require an appointment. To schedule an appointment, email permitservicesappt@clark.wa.gov.
