About Evergreen Permits

Helping Seattle homeowners and contractors get permits without the confusion.

We prepare residential permit drawings, code documentation, and submittal packages for remodels, additions, ADUs, DADUs, decks, garages, and other residential projects across the Seattle area.

Why we exist

Permits should not feel impossible.

Most residential projects do not fail because the work is complicated. They get delayed because the permit path is unclear. Homeowners and contractors are often left trying to figure out what drawings are required, which forms apply, and how to respond to city comments.

Evergreen Permits was created to make that process easier.

Common questions we answer:
Do I even need a permit for this?
What drawings does the city require?
Which forms apply to my project?
How do I respond to correction comments?
Why is my permit taking so long?
What we do

Permit support built around residential projects.

We focus on the permit documentation and submittal work needed to move small residential projects forward.

Permit drawings
Site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and other drawings required for permit review.
Code documentation
We identify residential code requirements and organize the information needed for submittal.
Energy code support
Energy code notes, forms, and documentation when required for the project scope.
Application forms
We help prepare permit forms and supporting documents required by the jurisdiction.
Online submittals
We assemble and submit permit packages through the city or county portal.
Correction responses
When review comments come back, we revise drawings and prepare resubmittal responses.

What makes us different

A permit-focused team, not a traditional design firm.

We are not trying to turn every project into a custom architectural design exercise. We are here to help you understand what is required, prepare the documents, and get the permit process moving.

Focused on permits
Our process is built around what jurisdictions need to review and approve residential projects.
Practical and cost-conscious
We keep work focused on the permit path, so clients are not paying for unnecessary design services.
Support until approval
We help with corrections and resubmittals so clients are not left alone after the first submission.
Local knowledge

Residential permit support for the Seattle area.

Each city has its own process, forms, review timelines, and submittal standards. Having a team that understands local permitting can make a major difference on your project.

A note from our founder

Evergreen Permits was built around a simple idea: residential permitting should be easier to understand and more affordable to navigate. Too many homeowners and contractors get stuck because they do not know what the city needs, what drawings are required, or how to respond when corrections come back. Our goal is to provide a practical, organized permit support service that helps people move forward with confidence.
