Demolish Structure

This checklist provides the list of individual documents that are required for a complete application for residential projects.

This form is required for all commercial building projects along with specific site and project data.

A map drawn to scale that shows all existing and proposed demolition plans.

Demolition of a commercial structure requires a demolition permit, and in most cases a sewer capping permit from the Pierce County Public Works Department. This is required prior to building demolition.

When the property owner is not the applicant, the owner must sign a letter of authorization and have it notarized. The applicant must submit this notarized letter when applying to demolish the structure.

Proof of ownership is required before an application can be accepted for demolition.
