Bellevue — Ch. 8 Buildings, Housing, and Construction § 8-53
Accessory structures
Operative Text
Each permit issued for a main building shall also cover any accessory structures or buildings constructed at the same time on the same premises, and such permit shall be posted in plain sight on the premises for which it is issued.
Under Bellevue Ch. 8 § 8-53, a single building permit issued for a main structure automatically extends to cover any accessory structures or buildings built simultaneously on the same property. The permit must be visibly posted on the premises where the work is taking place. This rule ensures that all construction activity occurring at the same time under one permit is accounted for and publicly visible on-site.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers undertaking construction in Bellevue should be aware that under Ch. 8 § 8-53, one permit can cover both a primary building and any accessory structures built at the same time on the same lot. A compliant operator ensures the permit is posted in a clearly visible location on the property throughout the construction period. Operators generally confirm that all simultaneous accessory construction is reflected under the issued permit before work begins.

Bellevue Ch. 8 § 8-53 establishes that any permit covering a main building also applies to accessory structures built at the same time on the same property, and that permit must be posted in plain sight. Tenants who notice construction activity without a visible permit posted on the premises may have grounds to raise a concern with the relevant Bellevue building or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what posted permit requirements mean for construction happening at their residence.
