The Civil Construction Permitting process was incorporated into the Bonney Lake Municipal Code per Ordinance 1432 in 2012.

A Civil Improvement Permit is required for the following construction activities:

  • Grading and Filling
  • Grease Interceptors
  • Improvement Inspections
  • Preliminary Plats
  • Retaining Wall 
  • Roadway Extensions
  • Sanitary Sewer and Water Extensions Within the Right-of-Way (ROW)
  • Short Plats
  • Underground Infrastructure for Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems
  • Utility Connection to Public System

Note from Building Fire Safety Inspector regarding Civil Plan Review. Plans shall clearly indicate the location of:

  • Existing and proposed fire hydrants.
  • Fire access lanes with a truck maneuvering diagram (access lanes shall have a minimum width of 20 feet).
  • Minimum 28 foot inside turning radius.
