Black Diamond permit and license rules
The city’s Permit Center page names the building permit, and it does not list walls, fences, driveways, sidewalks, or right-of-way work. For those jobs we ask the city what applies at your address, and we do not assume a rule from a neighboring city. Our quote follows the answer, so the schedule waits for it. A wall built against a slope or near the street can raise questions of its own, and we raise them with the city early rather than after the forms are set.
The state’s city endorsement page says Black Diamond requires a license for businesses that operate in the city or do business within city limits. It lists a $70 origination fee and a $60 renewal fee, and it notes that nonprofit businesses may be exempt from city fees. We confirm the current amounts with the city before any bid goes out.
Nearby, we also build in Enumclaw, Maple Valley, Covington, and Auburn, and we serve the rest of western Washington.
