Pre-applications are an opportunity for a potential applicant to receive feedback from all reviewing divisions (building, fire, planning, and engineering) about their development project proposal prior to submitting an application for a permit. Please see the information below.

• Tier 1: The first step in the pre-application process is a notes only review of the submitted project. After notes have been issued by staff, you may apply for the Tier 2 process.
• Tier 2: If you have questions that would require the collaboration of staff or will be submitting a revised site plan based on staff comment from the Tier 1 pre-application. You must complete Tier 1 prior to applying for Tier 2.

If you have questions regarding the new pre-application meeting process, please reach out to planning@puyallupwa.gov.
