The Permit Center

The City Hall Permit Center is your source for information on development within City limits. This is the location for finding and submitting applications and receiving permits for development, right of way uses, and new water and sewer connections. The Permit Center is a conduit to the other divisions of Planning and Development Services, Public Works and Engineering departments, and various City boards and commissions. Permitting staff is dedicated to providing prompt and courteous service.

Before you begin your project, check this City of Snohomish map to make sure the property you are interested in is located in Snohomish City limits.
