The City of Raymond handles building permits for all properties located within the City limits. If you are unsure if you are located within the incorporated City of Raymond, please contact us to verify as many locations outside of the City still have a Raymond address.

Building inspections can be made during regular business hours directly through the building inspector, Eric Weiberg. To look up a contractor, please visit the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries webpage.
