County Department of Community Development administers
and manages ordinances that regulate land development,
construction, maintenance, and remodeling so that the
buildings and lands where we live, work, and play will
be safe. The County uses permits to make sure that work
is done in compliance with those ordinances.
Kitsap County enforces national and international codes
adopted by the State of Washington and Kitsap County.
