Frequently Asked Questions

How long do permits take in Camas?

Permit turnaround is typically 2–4 weeks once submitted. We prepare complete applications to avoid resubmittals. ADU permits may take longer under new HB 1337 guidance, which we manage proactively.

What is HB 1337 and how does it affect my ADU project?

HB 1337 (effective May 2025) requires Camas to allow up to 2 ADUs per residential lot, with units at least 1,000 sq ft and 24 ft tall. We ensure your ADU design complies now and will work under the new rules.

Can we work around Camas building-hour restrictions?

Yes. Work is allowed Monday–Friday 7 am–7 pm and Saturday 7 am–5 pm. Sunday is always prohibited. We schedule deliveries and crew shifts within these windows for all projects.

Do I need a remodeler's license for additions in Camas?

Washington requires general contractors to be licensed. We hold full licensing and insurance. Always verify contractor licensing with the Department of Labor & Industries before hiring.

How do setback rules affect ADU placement on my Camas lot?

Setbacks vary by zone and whether the ADU is detached or attached. HB 1337 limits how strict setback rules can be. We perform a site review to determine what's allowed on your specific property and neighborhood.

What happens during Camas building inspections?

We schedule inspections at framing, rough-in (electrical, plumbing), and final stages. City inspectors verify code compliance. We coordinate all scheduling so your project stays on track and passes every time.
