Tips

Summary: This Tip provides general information about our Master Use Permit revision process. You can make revisions to issued and unexpired MUPs. Making revisions will not extend the life of your original MUP. See Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) 23.76.032 and Tip 224A, Master Use Permit (MUP) Renewals and Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Extensions, or information about MUP expiration, renewals, and shoreline extensions. If your changes exceed the scope and authority of your original MUP, you will need to submit a new MUP application. Revisions to shoreline permits are subject to different rules, a required by City and State regulations.
