Kirkland Projects Start With Planning and Codes
Kirkland residents should route building, zoning, and site-plan questions through the town's Planning and Codes office before work starts.

Before starting a Kirkland building project, contact the town’s Planning and Codes office. It oversees land-use planning, zoning rules, building-code enforcement, permits, site-plan review, and compliance. The online town code is for information. Get an official copy from the Town Clerk when the exact code text matters.
In plain terms, do not rely on a neighbor’s memory or an old PDF before building, changing use, or planning a larger exterior project. Ask the town which permit path and code copy apply now.
A Kirkland project may need both a building-permit step and a zoning step. Give Planning and Codes the address, proposed use, and project description so it can identify the order.
Have the address, proposed use, project description, current code question, and any site-plan issue ready. Planning and Codes is the starting door; the Town Clerk is the safer source when an official code copy matters.
