Create Your Seattle STFI Permit Drawings in PowerPoint. No CAD. No Revit. No Permit Experience Required.

For Seattle homeowners who opened the SDCI permit portal, stared at it, and closed their laptop. This is the system that makes it simple.

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.

How It Works

Why We Built This in PowerPoint

Most homeowners do not need to learn CAD to prepare a simple STFI drawing package. They need a clear structure, editable templates, and examples that show what reviewers expect.

So we took the drawing process our team uses for real Seattle STFI submittals and rebuilt it inside PowerPoint. You can edit labels, notes, room names, dimensions, arrows, and sheet layouts in software most people already recognize.

When you are done, export your sheets as PDFs and use the upload checklist to prepare your submittal.

Before You Start

What Is an STFI Permit and Is This Kit the Right Path for Your Seattle Project?

Getting a building permit in Seattle is no easy task. But there is a faster path available for small projects. Answer 5 quick questions to find out if yours qualifies.

STFI stands for

Subject to Field Inspection

A construction permit for small projects 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.

Is the Seattle STFI PowerPoint Permit Kit right for you?

Answer yes or no to each question. If you answer yes to all of them, the kit was built for your exact situation.

Is your project a simple interior remodel, deck, fence, or small residential scope? Not an addition, ADU, or DADU.
Does your project avoid structural changes? No new beams, load-bearing wall removals, or foundation work.
Is your property located within Seattle city limits? Not Shoreline, Bellevue, or another jurisdiction.
Does your site avoid critical area issues? No shoreline, steep slope, landslide zone, or flood plain designation.
Are you comfortable preparing your own drawings using templates and step-by-step guides, without hiring a designer?

The Seattle STFI PowerPoint Permit Kit was built for exactly your situation.

Based on your answers, you have a simple Seattle residential project and you are ready to prepare your own drawings. The kit gives you the templates, guides, and checklists to build a clean, reviewer-ready package in PowerPoint. No designer. No CAD. $97 one-time.

Your project may need a different path.

One or more of your answers suggests your project may not be the best fit for the Seattle STFI PowerPoint Permit Kit. Projects with structural work, critical area issues, or additions typically require a full plan review. In that case, your project falls outside what this kit covers. Evergreen Permits can prepare your full submittal package as a done-for-you service.

Talk to Evergreen Permits

Your project might qualify, but it needs a closer look.

Your answers suggest your project could go either way. The STFI path may still be available, but we recommend confirming with SDCI or having Evergreen Permits review your scope before purchasing the kit.

Most DIY permit problems start with unclear submittals

SDCI reviewers need clean drawings, clear scope, and organized documents. If your plans are incomplete, confusing, or inconsistent, your permit can get delayed, corrected, or pushed into a longer review path.

This kit helps you avoid the most common DIY permit mistakes:

  • Missing site plan information

  • Unclear existing vs. proposed work

  • Poorly labeled demolition scope

  • Missing window, door, or wall notes

  • Inconsistent drawing sheets

  • Confusing permit upload documents

  • Not understanding what STFI is meant for


Frequently Asked Questions

What software do I need?

Microsoft PowerPoint. Every template, guide, and walkthrough in this kit is built for PowerPoint. You do

not need AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, or any professional drafting software. If you don't already have PowerPoint, Microsoft offers free web-based PowerPoint options, and Microsoft 365 trial options may also be available. Some trial or paid options may require payment information or renew if not cancelled.

Is this only for Seattle?

Yes. This kit is built around Seattle STFI permit submittals. It may be helpful conceptually in other jurisdictions, but the templates and process are designed for Seattle.

Does this guarantee my permit will be approved?

No. No product can guarantee permit approval. Approval depends on your project scope, site conditions, code compliance, and reviewer interpretation. This product helps you prepare a clearer, more organized submittal.

Do I need permit experience?

No. The kit is designed for homeowners, but you should be comfortable measuring your home, following instructions, preparing drawings, and using online permit tools.

What if my project is too complicated for STFI?

If your project involves structural work or an ADU, this kit isn't for you, but we can still help. Our team can manage the entire permit process for you from start to finish.

Does this include custom support?

Includes email support for product access and general Seattle STFI PowerPoint Permit Kit questions. Does not include custom plan review, code analysis, or project-specific permit consulting. The templates and walkthroughs are designed to be self-guided for most simple STFI projects.
