Apply online
Before you submit your application packet in person, you must apply online. Watch this video for creating an application for new home construction.
Pay application fees and print your receipt to include in your application packet.
For future reference, download and/or print the LEAN Guide. Visit the LMS training page for guides and instructions.
Contact us for a submittal appointment
Contact the Permit Center at permitservicesappt@clark.wa.gov to schedule a drop-off appointment to submit your application packet. The packet must be dropped off during open drop off times. There is no grace period for late arrivals. Late arrivals will be considered a no-show. Email us at least 24 hours ahead if you must cancel to avoid issues. Three missed appointments or late arrivals within a six-month timeline will result in exclusion from the LEAN review process for three months.
Packets that don’t include all items will not be accepted. The applicant will be required to retrieve the packet and schedule another appointment for submittal. If this occurs on two consecutive submittals, the applicant must apply through the non-LEAN process.
Paying close attention to preparing your application packet, following the checklists and submitting all required items allows for the most efficient processing of your application packet. While we attempt to work with applicants to fix minor issues and may allow revisions/additional information to be emailed, this won’t be allowed on a repeated basis. Your careful preparation directly impacts our shared goal of issuing your permit in a timely fashion.
