Algona remodels — valley-floor elevation diligence, city counter only
Algona is a small South King city between Auburn and Pacific on the White/Green River valley floor. FEMA has not mapped an official SFHA inside Algona limits, yet the city still treats northwest drainage as a potential flood hazard and requires finished floors at least seventy-one feet above sea level or one foot above the abutting street. This Board of Project Stewardship hub maps kitchen, bath, and addition questions onto that city-only elevation rule and Algona’s own building desk — educational, not a bid.

Who permits work in Algona?
City of Algona Building Permits is the AHJ for in-city parcels (algonawa.gov building permits pages). Contractors need an Algona business license via WA DOR before the city will process the package. Prefer the city’s Comprehensive Flood Management Plan and live permit forms; do not assume Auburn, Pacific, or King County DPER owns an Algona address.

Kitchen updates under Algona’s elevation and business-license gates
Post-war single-family kitchens on Algona’s compact lots remodel under the city’s building desk — not Auburn’s. Wall or MEP moves still need Algona permits; contractors without a City business license stall intake. Where the northwest drainage screen applies, finished-floor elevation can shape cabinetry and slab choices before layout freezes. Educational — not a price list.
Bath remodels when Algona screens valley drainage
Wet-room waterproofing still leads on small Algona lots. Plumbing moves follow city review; the city’s potential-flood and finished-floor rules can accompany a gut even when FEMA sheets show no in-city SFHA. Confirm Algona — not Pacific — before demo. Gut vs refresh stays a scoped choice.

Algona additions and garage conversions on compact valley lots
Garage conversions and modest bump-outs are common asks on Algona’s smaller lots, but the city’s floor-elevation ordinance and stormwater forms travel with the building permit. Sequence city intake before a GC prices framing; the Board does not invent lot yields or flood maps.

Why mention floor elevation if FEMA shows no SFHA in Algona?
