If you would like to be informed of DPD’s decision regarding the permit, ask the project planner associated (listed on the land use sign or in the Land Use Information Bulletin) or contact our Public Resource Center.

Land Use (Zoning) Questions
If you have general (not site-specific) zoning questions, call DPD's Public Resource Center at (206) 684-8467.  For site-specific Single Family zoning information, call DPD's Applicant Services Center at (206) 684-8850.

Due to the complexity of Seattle’s Land Use Code, all other types of zoning information must be obtained in person at our Applicant Services Center or via our online Land Use Q&A Service.
