Building Permit Process
City of Raymond Building Permit Process
Any new structure or remodel/repair/work done in the City of Raymond will require a permit. This includes electrical, building, plumbing, and heating. For homeowners doing the work themselves, we figure price of material times two would equal material plus labor. The City of Raymond valuation table will be used in those cases where it applies.

Permits will need to be paid for at time of issuance. This includes electrical, plumbing and heating. Check and cash accepted. Checks are payable to the City of Raymond.
Site plans are required for additions, new homes, decks, and accessory structures showing dimensions from the structure to lot lines.
You are required to obtain a sewer hook-up fee of $150.00 and a water hook-up fee of $150.00 before a permit will be issued for a new house.
