Development Engineering Division

The Development Engineering Section is responsible for reviewing development proposals for compliance with traffic, roads, stormwater, solid waste, and survey related county and state codes.

Members of the Development Engineering Section conduct plan reviews, issue site development activity permits (SDAPs), inspect active SDAP sites, and review preliminary land use applications for compliance with adopted engineering codes. (Titles 11, 12, 16, 18, and 20 of the Kitsap County Code).

Why Institute Counter Complete Requirements?
It is the responsibility and requirement, per KCC Title 21, of the applicant to submit a complete application package.  An effective review cannot be conducted unless all required review materials are in hand.  In order to allow staff more time to efficiently review and process permit applications, Development Engineering will no longer accept permit applications that are not counter complete.  Large amounts of staff time have been expended in the past to attempt to work with applicants and their representative to gather the required application materials to achieve a full submittal package.  Acceptance of only counter complete applications will increase efficiency and decrease overall permit processing and review time.

What is Counter Complete?
Counter complete is a first stage screening tool to ensure that the necessary forms, reports, fees and other required application materials required under KCC Titles 12 and 21 are present in a submittal package.  The counter complete checklists posted on this website indicate the items required for counter complete.  These checklists will be used by permit intake staff to determine if a permit will be accepted.  Submittals that are not counter complete will not be accepted.  If a project is accepted as counter complete, it will undergo an additional check for technical completeness within a technical completeness triage meeting prior to the start of the review process.  Submittals that are not technically complete will not be reviewed until the materials needed for a technically complete submittal are received.  Applicants shall be notified in writing if their project is not technically complete.
