Pullman building permits

Requirements

• PCC 2.15.010(2) adopts “the most current edition of the International Residential Code (referred to in this Chapter as the IRC) as adopted by the State of Washington and its additions, deletions, and exceptions noted in WAC 51-51 as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto.” NO EDITION YEAR IS PRINTED.
• SHED EXEMPTIONS DEPEND ON WHICH CODE YOUR PROJECT FALLS UNDER, AND THE TWO NUMBERS DIFFER BY 80 SQUARE FEET. PCC 2.15.035 amends IBC 105.2 and IRC R105.2 so no building permit is required for “One-story detached accessory buildings used as tool and storage sheds, playhouses, and similar uses, provided the floor area does not exceed 120 square feet (11.15 square meters)(IBC) or 200 square feet (18.58 square meters)(IRC).”
• Other exemptions in the same amendment: fences not over 7 feet high; oil derricks; and retaining walls not over 4 feet measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, “unless supporting a surcharge or impounding Class I, II, or III-A liquids”. The list continues past the extract read for this entry and is not reproduced in full.
• The amendment opens by preserving the usual rule that an exemption is not a licence: “Exemptions from permit requirements of this code shall not be deemed to grant authorization for any work to be done in any manner in violation of the provisions of this code or any other laws or ordinances of this jurisdiction.”
• BUDGET ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE PERMIT FEE AT THE COUNTER, AND HALF OF IT IS REFUNDABLE. PCC 2.15.070 amends IBC and IRC Section 105 to add: “To the cost of every permit authorized under Section 105 of the IBC and IRC, except a permit issued for purposes that require no earthmoving or transportation of earth or other debris, shall be added a cash deposit equal to the cost of the building permit as provided for in Section 2.15.020.” THIS IS A DEPOSIT, NOT A FEE — it secures removal of “any earth, fresh concrete, rock rubble or debris which is deposited on any portion of public right-of-way … by the permittee”, to be cleared “at the end of the work day” or as the Public Works Director directs. If the right-of-way is damaged or not restored, the Director may order restoration “as often as may be necessary”. The exemption is narrow: only permits requiring NO earthmoving or earth transport escape it. NOTE THAT IT CARRIES NO DOLLAR FIGURE AT ALL — it is defined as a multiple of a fee that is itself set by resolution.
• “THE CONSTRUCTION CODE” IS A DEFINED TERM AND IT REACHES OUTSIDE TITLE 2. PCC 2.10.010 defines it as consisting of “(1) The Washington State Building Code as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto except as specifically provided otherwise in this Title; (2) The Building Code (Chapter 2.15); (3) The Plumbing Code (Chapter 2.20); (4) The Mechanical Code (Chapter 2.25); (5) The Fire Code (Chapter 3.16); (6) The Energy Code (Chapter 2.30); (7) The Electrical Code (Chapter 2.35)”. The Fire Code sits in Title 3, not Title 2, so reading Title 2 end to end still leaves one component of the Construction Code unread. Chapter 3.16 was NOT opened for this entry.
• PULLMAN PUBLISHES A CONFLICT ORDER AND IT IS NOT THE SAME ORDER AS ITS NEIGHBOURS'. PCC 2.10.050: “In case of a conflict between the provisions of the various codes regulating construction as listed in Section 2.10.010, the first listed code as listed in Section 2.10.010 of this Chapter shall govern unless specifically provided otherwise in Chapter 19.27 RCW, WAC 51-50 or elsewhere in this Title.” The list at 2.10.010 runs: the Washington State Building Code, then the Building Code (2.15), the Plumbing Code (2.20), the Mechanical Code (2.25), the Fire Code (3.16), the Energy Code (2.30) and the Electrical Code (2.35). >>> THE MECHANISM IS SHARED ACROSS CITIES AND THE ORDERING IS NOT. Walla Walla publishes the same first-listed-governs rule with plumbing LAST, behind the IBC, IRC, IMC and IFC; Pullman puts plumbing SECOND, ahead of mechanical, fire, energy and electrical. Wenatchee publishes the same idea again in different words. A reader who learned the rule in one of these cities would get the opposite answer about plumbing in the other.
• THE DELEGATION IS STATED TWICE, IN TWO PLACES, WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE TRAP THE PREVIOUS CITY SET. Each chapter's own adopting sentence carries both the delegation and the roll — “the most current edition … as adopted by the State of Washington … as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto” — AND the definition of the Construction Code at PCC 2.10.010 repeats the roll for the Washington State Building Code as a whole. Walla Walla put its roll in a section by itself with no rolling phrase in any adopting sentence; Pullman says it in both places.
• THE CODE DISCLAIMS A DUTY TO YOU SPECIFICALLY. PCC 2.10.020(2): “None of the provisions of this Title or the ‘Construction Code’ are intended to create a cause of action or provide the basis for a claim against the city, its officials, or employees for the performance or failure to perform a duty or obligation running to a specific individual or specific individuals.” Inspection and approval are not a warranty to the permit holder.
• PCC 2.10.030: the “Building Official” means “the Building Official within the protective inspections division of the city of Pullman as set forth in PCC 1.18.050”, and PCC 2.10.040 separately defines the Fire Chief. PCC 1.18.050 was not opened.
• Appeals run to the Hearing Examiner under PCC 2.10.090 through 2.10.130, with separate sections for appeal procedures, the Examiner's determination, failure to obey a final order and appeal of the Examiner's own action. This guide does not summarise those sections, so no deadline or filing requirement is stated here.

Required documents

• RequiredBuilding permit applicationFiled with the Building Official in the city's protective inspections division (PCC 2.10.030). Expect the cash damage deposit at PCC 2.15.070 on top of the permit fee unless the work requires no earthmoving or transportation of earth or debris.
• RequiredCash damage deposit for the public right-of-wayPCC 2.15.070 adds to the cost of every permit “a cash deposit equal to the cost of the building permit”, except for permits requiring no earthmoving or transportation of earth or debris. It secures removal of earth, fresh concrete, rock rubble or debris from any street, alley, highway or sidewalk at the end of each work day. It is refundable security, not a charge by the city, and the code states no dollar figure because it is defined as a multiple of the permit fee.

Requirements

• PCC 2.15.010(1): “The City of Pullman hereby adopts the most current edition of the International Building Code (referred to in this Chapter as the IBC) and Appendix ‘J’ (Grading) as adopted by the State of Washington and its additions, deletions, and exceptions noted in WAC 51-50 as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto as supplemented by” the IRC. NO EDITION YEAR IS PRINTED. Appendix J (Grading) is the one appendix named.
• PCC 2.10.060 states that “The general administrative provisions of the International Building Code as adopted in Chapter 2.15” govern administration, as further amended. That section was read only in its opening words for this entry.
• A grading permit exists separately — PCC 2.15.040 is headed “Grading permit exceptions” and Appendix J is adopted with the IBC — but that section was NOT opened and its thresholds are not asserted here. PCC 2.15.050 covers erosion control and was also not opened.
• BUDGET ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE PERMIT FEE AT THE COUNTER, AND HALF OF IT IS REFUNDABLE. PCC 2.15.070 amends IBC and IRC Section 105 to add: “To the cost of every permit authorized under Section 105 of the IBC and IRC, except a permit issued for purposes that require no earthmoving or transportation of earth or other debris, shall be added a cash deposit equal to the cost of the building permit as provided for in Section 2.15.020.” THIS IS A DEPOSIT, NOT A FEE — it secures removal of “any earth, fresh concrete, rock rubble or debris which is deposited on any portion of public right-of-way … by the permittee”, to be cleared “at the end of the work day” or as the Public Works Director directs. If the right-of-way is damaged or not restored, the Director may order restoration “as often as may be necessary”. The exemption is narrow: only permits requiring NO earthmoving or earth transport escape it.

The Fire Code sits in Title 3, not Title 2, so reading Title 2 end to end still leaves one component of the Construction Code unread. Chapter 3.16 was NOT opened for this entry.
• PULLMAN PUBLISHES A CONFLICT ORDER AND IT IS NOT THE SAME ORDER AS ITS NEIGHBOURS'. PCC 2.10.050: “In case of a conflict between the provisions of the various codes regulating construction as listed in Section 2.10.010, the first listed code as listed in Section 2.10.010 of this Chapter shall govern unless specifically provided otherwise in Chapter 19.27 RCW, WAC 51-50 or elsewhere in this Title.” The list at 2.10.010 runs: the Washington State Building Code, then the Building Code (2.15), the Plumbing Code (2.20), the Mechanical Code (2.25), the Fire Code (3.16), the Energy Code (2.30) and the Electrical Code (2.35). >>> THE MECHANISM IS SHARED ACROSS CITIES AND THE ORDERING IS NOT.

Requirements

• PCC 2.20.010: “The City of Pullman hereby adopts the most current edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code (referred to in this Chapter as the UPC) as adopted by the State of Washington and its additions, deletions, and exceptions noted in Chapter 51-56 WAC as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto”. NO EDITION YEAR IS PRINTED.
• PLUMBING RANKS SECOND IN THE CITY'S CONFLICT ORDER, BEHIND ONLY THE BUILDING CODE — ahead of mechanical, fire, energy and electrical. See PCC 2.10.050 with the list at 2.10.010. That is the opposite end of the order from Walla Walla, where the plumbing code yields to everything else.
• The chapter also carries PCC 2.20.020 Rainwater system and 2.20.030 Sewer connection, neither of which was opened for this entry.
• Fees and refunds are set by resolution of the City Council under PCC 2.20.050, in the same terms as the building code chapter.
• BUDGET ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE PERMIT FEE AT THE COUNTER, AND HALF OF IT IS REFUNDABLE. PCC 2.15.070 amends IBC and IRC Section 105 to add: “To the cost of every permit authorized under Section 105 of the IBC and IRC, except a permit issued for purposes that require no earthmoving or transportation of earth or other debris, shall be added a cash deposit equal to the cost of the building permit as provided for in Section 2.15.020.” THIS IS A DEPOSIT, NOT A FEE — it secures removal of “any earth, fresh concrete, rock rubble or debris which is deposited on any portion of public right-of-way … by the permittee”, to be cleared “at the end of the work day” or as the Public Works Director directs.

Requirements

• PCC 2.25.010(1) adopts “the most current edition of the International Mechanical Code (referred to in this Chapter as the IMC) as adopted by the State of Washington and its additions, deletions, and exceptions noted in Chapter 51-52 WAC as now existing and in accordance with any amendments that may hereafter be made thereto”, and (2) adds “the most current edition of the International Fuel Gas Code (referred to in this Chapter as the IFGC) as adopted by the State of Washington” under the same WAC chapter and the same rolling terms.
• NO NFPA STANDARD IS NAMED IN THIS CHAPTER AT ALL, and that is measured rather than assumed: a search for “NFPA” across the whole of Chapter 2.25 returns nothing. Several other cities in this Washington set name NFPA 58 with an explicit edition year; Pullman does not name it, so no year for it is asserted here either way.
• PCC 2.25.030 covers gas piping and fitting and was not opened for this entry.
• FOUR SECTIONS OF THIS CHAPTER ARE PUBLISHED AS BARE “Repealed.” — PCC 2.25.040, .050, .060 and .070 — with no subject name and no repealing ordinance shown in the section list. What they once contained cannot be read off the code.
• BUDGET ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE PERMIT FEE AT THE COUNTER, AND HALF OF IT IS REFUNDABLE. PCC 2.15.070 amends IBC and IRC Section 105 to add: “To the cost of every permit authorized under Section 105 of the IBC and IRC, except a permit issued for purposes that require no earthmoving or transportation of earth or other debris, shall be added a cash deposit equal to the cost of the building permit as provided for in Section 2.15.020.” THIS IS A DEPOSIT, NOT A FEE — it secures removal of “any earth, fresh concrete, rock rubble or debris which is deposited on any portion of public right-of-way … by the permittee”, to be cleared “at the end of the work day” or as the Public Works Director directs.

Requirements

• PCC 2.35.010: the Electrical Code “shall consist of: (1) the most current edition of the ‘National Electrical Code,’ as published by the National Fire Protection Association and adopted by the State of Washington; and (2) the ‘Electrical Safety Standard, Administration, and Installation’ regulations as adopted by the State of Washington (as codified in Chapter 296-45B WAC)”. NO EDITION YEAR IS PRINTED for either.
• THE SECOND LIMB SITS IN THE WAC 296 SERIES, WHICH IS THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIES' TITLE, rather than in the 51-xx Building Code Council chapters the rest of the Construction Code cites. This entry records where the citation points and does NOT assert which agency inspects electrical work in Pullman; no such provision was read.
• ELECTRICAL RANKS LAST IN THE CITY'S CONFLICT ORDER — seventh of seven in the list at PCC 2.10.010, so on PCC 2.10.050 it yields to every other component of the Construction Code.
• PULLMAN HAVING AN ELECTRICAL CHAPTER AT ALL IS WORTH NOTING AGAINST ITS NEIGHBOURS: Walla Walla publishes Chapter 15.08 as “ELECTRICAL CODE (RESERVED)” with no sections, and Wenatchee's electrical chapter was repealed outright while its permit requirement survived.
• BUDGET ROUGHLY DOUBLE THE PERMIT FEE AT THE COUNTER, AND HALF OF IT IS REFUNDABLE. PCC 2.15.070 amends IBC and IRC Section 105 to add: “To the cost of every permit authorized under Section 105 of the IBC and IRC, except a permit issued for purposes that require no earthmoving or transportation of earth or other debris, shall be added a cash deposit equal to the cost of the building permit as provided for in Section 2.15.020.” THIS IS A DEPOSIT, NOT A FEE — it secures removal of “any earth, fresh concrete, rock rubble or debris which is deposited on any portion of public right-of-way … by the permittee”, to be cleared “at the end of the work day” or as the Public Works Director directs.
