CITY OF RENTON WASHINGTON

Many domain emails for example [email protected] block unsolicited emails that it doesn't recognize. Sometimes the block/filter is through your system's protection software (i.e. McAfee), therefore, you should contact your IT department, have them turn off the blocking/filtering to allow the [email protected] email to come through to your email box as well as have your IT department add it to your Whitelist. 

If you are still having difficulty registering with your domain email address (jo[email protected]), you can register with an email that uses @yahoo, @gmail, or @comcast, etc. During registration be sure you don't use any email address as your username. Once you have completed the registration process you can then login, go into your My Account and change the email address associated with the registered user account to your company email address. 

You no longer have to rely on an email to receive and print your permit. When you apply for an over-the-counter (OTC) permit and complete the payment process, you will be redirected to your My Dashboard, under My Permits, click on Active, find the permit you wish to print, click the permit number link and at the top right of the screen there is a blue printer icon that allows you to print your permit. 

When the City of Renton moved to the new online permitting system the contacts from the previous system did not carry over, therefore you must register on our new permitting.rentonwa.gov. You will need to contact the Permit Center at (425) 430-7200 and a Permit Specialist will help you get access to your permits.

First are you a registered user? If the answer is yes, then are you logged in? If the answer is no, you must log in to schedule inspections. If the answer is yes, then the alternative is to schedule your inspections over the phone at (425) 430-7202 using our Integrated Voice Response system (IVR) and after you have scheduled your inspections, please contact the Permit Center at (425) 430-7200 so that we can investigate why you are unable to schedule your inspections online.

Are you applying for an electrical or plumbing permit and only have a general contractor's certification on file with us? If so, contact the Permit Center and update your company's contact with the correct contractor's Labor & Industries' (L&I) State certification for the type of permit you are applying for. Please have your Washington State UBI number available for the Permit Specialist to add to your contact.
