When does a HVAC / mechanical need a permit in City of Issaquah?
A mechanical permit is required for furnaces, AC, heat pumps, gas appliances and gas piping. Mechanical work tied to a building permit is a component of it; standalone fixtures issue online. For one- and two-family dwellings the fee is 8% of the determined building permit fee for NEW CONSTRUCTION only. For remodels, additions and anything other than new construction it is a flat $62.88 per new appliance, per duct system, or for gas piping alone, with a $62.88 minimum and a $422.04 maximum; a like-for-like water heater or furnace replacement is $62.88. A separate technology fee applies. Commercial and multifamily are charged on valuation instead (Table C-2).
