Community Development Closure Effective Monday, March 23

Information released

In an effort to protect the safety of both our customers and our employees, effective Monday, March 23rd, our office will be closed to walk-in traffic until further notice. Building permit submittal and pick-up shall be done by appointment only. We will still be processing permits and applications during this time, and scheduling/performing building permit inspections. Please submit general inquiries via email to (CD.director@co.chelan.wa.us), or telephone (509-667-6225), for both building and planning.

All land use applications are requested to be submitted via US Mail or the drop box at the Community Development entry located at 316 Washington Street, Suite 301 (3rd floor). If supplemental materials are being submitted, there will be a transmittal form available to identify the project or permit number. We appreciate your patience during this difficult time.

For the rest of this week, we will be open as usual, although restricting and limiting customer contact. Your wait times for all submittals this week may be significantly increased.

We will keep you updated as the situation evolves. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Stay healthy!

Sincerely,

Deanna Walter, Interim Director
Chelan County Department of Community Development
