Building & Planning

We strive to provide timely and responsive service. The review process is established to provide assistance in interpreting complex policies that govern building and land development. Tumwater's Development Review Committee helps to determine feasibility of projects and outlines actions to environmental and critical area analysis and land division. If you're thinking of building in Tumwater, City staff are available to help you move through the process.
