Please be wary of on-line schemes by criminals impersonating County officials to solicit fraudulent payments for County development permits. The FBI has issued a fraud advisory available at Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Criminals Impersonating City and County Officials in Phishing Emails for Planning and Zoning Permits. King County Permitting will never ask for a payment to be made via wire transfer or crypto currency. Permit applicants should only submit on-line payments for King County permit fees via either of two valid payment websites: My Building Permit (https://mybuildingpermit.com/) or King County's Public Access Portal (https://aca-prod.accela.com/kingco/Default.aspx)
