Please note, beginning Monday, July 1st we will be enforcing our online permit Document Submittal Standards and File Naming Requirements for all permit types. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the PCED Department at 360-293-1901 or at pced@anacorteswa.gov.
This online permit center allows permit applications to be submitted, tracked, and information obtained for all development and land use permits issued by the City of Anacortes Planning, Community, and Economic Development (PCED) Department and Public Works Department.
Certain areas of the Citizen Portal do not require logging into an account to access them, such as Public Notices, or searching for a parcel or permit.
Certain features of the Citizen Portal do require logging into an account to access them, such as submitting a permit application or paying fees online. If you do not have an account, you must go through the registration process first. In the top right corner of this page, click Sign Up, this will open the three-step account registration wizard.
All of the city's construction, development, and land use permits are processed through this portal. However, there are some applications that due to their infrequent use or complex nature may require staff to upload after reviewing them for completeness.
Before beginning your application process consult the applicable permit submittal checklist for your permit type, available below under Documents.
NOTE: We do not accept public records requests through this portal. To submit a public records request please visit the city's website at: cityofanacortes.org/890/Public-Records-Information.
Our goal is to make business with the City easier and more efficient for our customers and to provide transparent, current, permit information to everyone.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any difficulties.
Thank you for helping us serve you better!
