Windstorm damage building permit deadline Nov. 18

COEUR d'ALENE — In November 2015 Kootenai County commissioners passed a resolution to allow Community Development Director David Callahan to implement accelerated building permit procedures to more efficiently issue building permits for work necessary to remedy damage to structures caused by the windstorm.

The accelerated damage repair permits were a flat fee of $100 and were available for about one year. The resolution is coming to an end on Nov. 18.

The storm damage permits allowed property owners to legally repair their homes back to normal without having to go though the full permitting process.

For those who have been working with insurance companies and have not submitted their building application under the storm damage resolution will need to do so by Nov. 18 to qualify for the flat fee.

All applications submitted after that date will be reviewed under the county's regular permitting processes.
