How it works

Why we built this
in PowerPoint

Most homeowners do not need CAD to prepare a simple STFI drawing package. We took the exact process our team uses for real Seattle STFI submittals and rebuilt it inside PowerPoint — so you can edit labels, dimensions, and layouts in software most people already know.

No CAD subscription
No AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp required
Fully editable templates
Edit labels, notes, dimensions, and layouts
Export as PDFs
Ready to upload directly to SDCI
Built for homeowners
No design background needed
PowerPoint access is required. If you do not already have PowerPoint, Microsoft offers free web-based options. Learn more

The Seattle STFI PowerPoint Permit Kit was built from the same process, adapted for homeowners who want to do it themselves.

The Seattle STFI Power Point Permit Kit

Most Seattle homeowners who need an STFI permit end up paying $1,200 to $2,000 for someone else to

draw the package. This kit does it for $97. Same drawing process. Same organization. Built for PowerPoint so any homeowner can follow it. No CAD, no design background, no starting from scratch.

What is an STFI permit?

STFI is Seattle's simplified permit process for interior remodels that bypasses the full plan review. Many in the trade call it an over-the-counter permit, because it is designed to be reviewed and approved quickly, without the lengthy back-and-forth of a standard submission.

Does your project qualify?

Most Seattle interior remodels do. Check both lists to find out where yours fits.

Your project likely qualifies if...
✓
It's an interior remodel — kitchen, bathroom, or finish updates within your existing space
✓
The work is non-structural — no changes to load-bearing walls, framing, or foundation
✓
No exterior changes — no windows, doors, roof, drainage, or anything outside the home
✓
Your property does not require environmental, shoreline, historic, or utility reviews
Your project likely does not qualify if...
✗
You're making structural changes — moving load-bearing walls, adding beams, or touching the foundation
✗
The project involves exterior work — new windows, doors, roof, siding, or anything visible from outside
✗
Your property requires additional reviews — historic district, shoreline, or environmental approvals
✗
You're adding a new ADU, changing the footprint, or building any new structure
Not sure if you qualify?

Your project may need a full plan review. The Evergreen Permits team can help you figure out what's needed and guide you through the process.
