Kent remodels — Green River Valley permits and GC checks

Kent’s Citizen Permit Portal is a home-grown intake for Green River Valley parcels — neither Seattle SDCI nor MyBuildingPermit. Valley floors often sit inside FEMA flood hazard areas under KMC 14.09, and East Hill mid-century streets bring a different geometry. This Board of Project Stewardship hub separates kitchen, bath, and addition planning under that Kent AHJ, then GC hire checks.

Who permits work in Kent?

Kent runs its own Citizen Permit Portal (permitportal.kentwa.gov) rather than MyBuildingPermit. Green River valley properties often sit in FEMA special flood hazard areas; KMC Chapter 14.09 Flood Hazard Regulations require flood-zone compliance before development. Land-use/environmental permits (critical areas, SEPA, shoreline) are a separate track from residential building permits. Kent’s SMP regulates Green River shoreline jurisdiction — distinct from Eastside lake SMPs.

Kitchens when Kent reviews the parcel

When Kent reviews the parcel, kitchen wall and MEP moves follow the city path — not a neighbor city’s portal. East Hill mid-century kitchens and valley multifamily-adjacent stock need different layout honesty. Flood-zone or shoreline stacking on the Green River can change sequence even for interior work. No invented budgets.

Bath remodels across Kent’s East Hill and valley

East Hill baths remodel inside mid-century SFH footprints; valley parcels may add flood-hazard elevation questions that a hillside Eastside bath never sees. Waterproofing remains non-negotiable. Confirm whether building and flood/shoreline tracks both apply before demo.

Kent home additions and Green River constraints

Practical additions where zoning and lot allow still meet Green River flood and shoreline jurisdiction on many valley parcels — a different constraint set than Lake Sammamish Eastside cities. East Hill lots trade flood for hillside geometry. Sequence flood review with building permits; the Board does not invent freeboard numbers.
