What it is

Building Whatcom puts permit records from around the county on one map. Filter by city, permit type and more, then open any permit for its details. It's free to use.

Map first

See where the work is happening, from a single reroof to a new subdivision.

Filters that fit the trades

Narrow to new homes, multifamily, commercial, remodels, reroof, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, demo or grading.

Updated weekly

New permits are pulled in every week, and so are Ecology SEPA notices for the bigger projects coming down the pipe.
