Thinking about updating your home, tackling a renovation, or finally getting started on that home improvement project you’ve been putting off? Before you pick up a hammer or hire a contractor, it can be helpful to understand your options, permitting requirements, and the resources available to you.
The King County Home Improvement Fair is a great opportunity for local homeowners to get free guidance and connect with professionals who can help turn those ideas into reality.
Get Free Home Improvement Guidance
The Home Improvement Fair brings together local home improvement professionals, including:
- Contractors
- Suppliers
- Lenders
- Designers
- Permitting staff
Homeowners can talk directly with professionals about their projects, ask questions, and learn more about the resources available to them.
One of the biggest benefits is the opportunity to speak with King County permitting staff about your property, project, and permitting questions without an appointment.
Learn the Basics of Residential Permitting
Not sure whether your project requires a permit? You're not alone.
The event will also feature a Residential Permitting 101 presentation at 6:30 p.m. This can be especially helpful if you're considering an addition, remodel, renovation, or other project and aren't sure where to start.
Understanding permitting requirements before beginning a project can help homeowners avoid surprises later.

If you're a homeowner in the Skyway, Renton, Seattle, or surrounding areas, this is a great local resource to take advantage of.
