OWNER INITIATED DEMOLITION PERMIT PROCESS

When application is made for a permit to demolish a structure on a property, the owner must send utility disconnect notices to all utility companies, being sure to tell the utility that this is a disconnect for demolition.  The owner is responsible for any costs associated with the disconnections, and should ask the utility to notify the city when the work is finished. Also required is a Land Disturbance Permit obtained through the City of Leavenworth Public Works Deptartment. The owner or contractor must also engage a city-licensed plumber to cap the sewer prior to demolition; when this is done the City of Leavenworth plumbing inspector will check the sewer cap, sign off and notify the Community Development office.

A demolition permit cannot be issued until confirmation of all utility disconnects have been received by this office. The Demo Permit can be paid at any time in the process, but, as stated above, the demo may not proceed until all preliminary work is done and the fee(s) paid.
