If you're stewing over a home renovation or pondering the puzzle of permit applications in Bellevue, mark your calendars. The city is rolling out the welcome mat for its Residential Permitting Expo slated for Saturday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at City Hall. No charge for admission, just bring your plans and questions.
Bellevue isn't just throwing open its doors to homeowners and curiosity seekers alike, but also offers a rare opportunity to rub elbows with the city's Development Services and Community Development department staff. Attendees can gain insider knowledge about everything permitting, such as code updates, permit review, and making sure those additions comply with city standards. City experts at the expo, ready to spill the beans on the nuts and bolts of the process, will be just an arm's length away.
This isn't just a dry info session, though. The Bellevue Residential Permitting Expo promises some hands-on workshops, including a delve into the digital depths of MyBuildingPermit.com.

Bellevue is encouraging would-be attendees to register, though dropping in unannounced won't have the doors closed on you. S
