Members of the Development Engineering Division 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).
 
Stormwater Regulations are effective February 16, 2010.  Development and re-development projects not vested to prior stormwater regulations are subject to the new regulations, developed in conformance with the requirements of the Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit.  For a quick overview of changes as they apply to residential building permit submittal, please check out our Brochure #51, "Changes in Stormwater Regulations will affect your Construction Project".

Single Family Residential Projects
 
Interested in building a home in Kitsap County?  One aspect commonly overlooked is the application of stormwater regulations to residential construction.  Most projects will need to provide onsite stormwater management and a construction stormwater pollution prevention plan.  If your project exceeds 2000 square feet of new and/or impervious surface, onsite stormwater management is required.  If your project disturbs more than 7000 square feet of land (through leveling, grading or construction activities) then you will need to provide a soil management plan as well.  Some residential projects require an engineered drainage plan.  Typically these projects are located on shorelines, near steep slopes or have other critical drainage problems.  These types of sites require application of a Site Development Activity Permit (SDAP).  A Site Development Activity Permit will be required if your project meets certain thresholds (see Brochure #57).  All projects are required to fill out a road approach application, even if one exists on the property.
