How permitting works in Tacoma

Tacoma uses a two-step permit process: a Land Use Permit (planning/zoning) followed by a Building Permit (construction code). Both are administered by Planning & Development Services. The Washington State Building Code (WSBC, 2021 editions) governs construction; the Tacoma Municipal Code (TMC) governs land use. Critical Areas Regulations protect Commencement Bay shoreline and wetlands; SEPA review applies to threshold projects. Design Review is required in Downtown (DT) and Urban Corridor zones. Permits are submitted through the CSS (Community Service System) portal.
