Questions to settle
Before the crew and truck are committed.
Does every shed demolition need a permit in Edmonds?+
The City of Edmonds publishes an exemption for some one-story residential accessory structures up to 200 square feet, subject to conditions. Confirm the current rule and your property before work starts.
What if the shed may contain asbestos?+
Do not disturb suspect material. Washington L&I says materials that could be disturbed must be evaluated before demolition; certified help may be required.
Can utilities stay connected?+
No utility should be assumed inactive. Identify and properly disconnect electrical, water or other services before demolition.
