Permitting a yurt

[Sccomstock]

I just left the building permit office for Mason County Washington and NO permits are required for full time yurt living. If the platform is 30inches above grade then you need a deck permit complete with railing, but if the platform is under 30 inches from grade the platform needs ZERO permits!!!! There are no minimum

insulation

requirements and no permitting for water or power as long as the property has an approved septic on file with the county!!

Needless to say I am on cloud 9 knowing that we can move ahead with our yurt without permitting issues.
