Permitting in Skamania County

Washington recognizes the agricultural exemption for qualifying parcels in agricultural use, which can take a building straight past a structural permit. Anything residential, commercial, or non-ag in use needs a county-permitted, engineer-stamped build. We walk through which path applies during the project review and prepare the full plan set — including engineer-stamped drawings where required — for you to submit to the county.
