“Ask Permit Tech” is provided as a public service and is intended for general public information purposes only. Submission of an inquiry does not constitute a land use application and any response issued is for information purposes only and does not constitute a land use decision binding upon Snohomish County or otherwise creating any vested right to proceed with a particular use or development of property in reliance upon such response. Due to the limited nature of the information provided, the preliminary nature of the review performed and the potential for error in understanding the inquiry and/or information provided, Snohomish County expressly disclaims any liability for errors or omissions in responses issued. The responses provided cannot address or review individual site characteristics such as lot size, compliance of existing structures with applicable zoning or building codes, or presence of critical areas or other site conditions which may limit use or development. To obtain a binding site specific determination regarding use or development of property a formal land use permit application must be filed with Snohomish County. Snohomish County expressly disclaims all right or intent that information provided hereunder be relied upon by an applicant in making any property specific land use determination
