1oQ(\ y42ij\
[please print name]
, states as follows:
PERMIT NO: / C/ C'
1. I have made application for a permit from the City of Tukwila, Washington.
2. I understand that state law requires that all building construction contractors be registered with the
State of Washington. The exceptions to this requirement are stated under Section 18.27.090 of the
Revised Code of Washington, a copy of which is printed on the reverse side of this Affidavit. I have
read or am familiar with RCW 18.27.090.
3. I understand that prior to issuance of a permit for work which is to be done by any contractor, the
City of Tukwila must verify either that the contractor is registered by the State of Washington, or that
one of the exemptions stated under RCW 18.27.090 applies.
4. In order to provide verification to the City of Tukwila of my compliance with this requirement, I
hereby attest that after reading the exemptions from the registration requirement of RCW 18.27.090,
I consider the work authorized under this permit to be exempt under number _, and will therefore
not be performed by a registered contractor.
5. I understand that the licensing provision of RCW 19.28.161 through 19.28.271 shall not apply to
persons making electrical installations on their own property or to regularly employed employees
working on the premises of their employer. The proposed electrical work is not for the construction
of a new building for rent, sale or lease.
I understand that I may be waiving certain rights that I might otherwise have under state law in any decision
to engage an unregistered contractor to perform construction work.

3. Maximum width of the sign shall not exceed 15 feet;
4. Location of the sign shall not interfere with sight distance of vehicles pulling in and out of the premises;
5. The sign must be located in a landscaped area. Having the sign stand-alone in a parking lot is not permitted; and

Dynamic Signs in Residential Zones
In order to foster civic community outreach and communication, the City permits limited use of dynamic signs within
residential zones. One permitted monument sign per premise, as outlined above, may contain a dynamic feature. The following
are the specific development standards applicable to the installation of dynamic signs within residential zones:
1. The image of the sign may not change more frequency than once every ten seconds;
2. The image must appear and disappear as one image. The image may not appear to flash, undulate, pulse or portray
explosions, fireworks, flashes of light, or blinking or chasing lights, or appear to move toward or away from the viewer,
expand, contract, bounce, rotate, spin, twist, scroll, travel or otherwise portray movement.
3. Illumination of the dynamic sign is limited to the hours of 7AM to 10PM.
4. All signs shall have installed ambient light monitors, and shall at all times allow such monitors to automatically adjust
the brightness level of the electronic sign based on ambient light conditions. Maximum brightness levels for electronic
signs shall not exceed 3-foot candle above ambient light conditions, measured 100 feet from the face.

Section 2- Grand Monument Signs
Premises that have an approved Master Sign Program are eligible to install two grand monument signs. A grand monument
sign takes the place of one of the monument signs permitted in section 1 of this application. The design of the grand monument
sign shall have an architectural treatment that is consistent with the design of the building or buildings on premise in which the
sign will be located.
Before you fill out this section you should first see if the premise you are applying for has an approved Master Sign Program. If
not, your first step is to submit a master sign permit application. The City will not issue a permit for a grand monument sign
until the Master Sign Program is approved by the City.

Section 3- Reface and Copy Change of Existing Freestanding Signs
When the current sign code became effective on August 24, 2010, the City strived to create a sign code that would reduce the
impact to property owners and businesses that had existing freestanding signs on their property. The city permits refaces and
copy changes to existing freestanding signs under several different scenarios:
1. A freestanding sign that conforms to the current sign code is permitted refaces and copy changes with a permit.
2. A freestanding sign that is not considered a freeway interchange sign, which was legally installed under the previous
sign code but does not meet the current Sign Code, is permitted to have refaces and copy changes for up to TEN years
from the effective date of the City's Sign Code (8/24/10). A permit is required for any reface or copy change. Please
note, modifying the sign height, increasing the sign area, or relocating the sign is not permitted without bringing the
sign into full conformance with the City's Sign Code. At the end of the ten year period the sign may remain as -is
indefinitely, however additional refaces or copy changes will require that the sign be brought into conformance with
the Sign Code.
3. A freestanding sign that is considered a freeway interchange sign and was legally installed under the previous sign
code is permitted to have refaces and copy changes for up to FIVE years from the effective date of the City's Sign
Code (8/24/10). A permit is required for any reface or copy change. Please note, modifying the sign height,
increasing the sign area, or relocating the sign is not permitted. At the end of the five year period the sign may remain
as -is indefinitely, however any changes to the face or structure of the sign will require that the sign be removed.
4. Freestanding signs that did not comply with the City's previous sign code, for example those that were installed while
an area was in King County, are not permitted to have any changes to the face or structure of the sign without bringing
the sign into conformance with the Sign Code.
Staff can help you research previous permit history to determine if your existing freestanding sign was installed under the
provisions of the City's previous Sign Code.
You will note that under Section 1 of this sign permit application additional signs are allowed for premises with over 800 feet of
linear street frontage or for corner properties. Even if your property qualifies for this additional signage under Section 1 you
will not be able to install it until any existing non -conforming sign(s) are removed (TMC 19.36.070).

INSPECTIONS
A final inspection of the sign is required for all signs when installation is complete. The applicant or installer is required to
schedule the final Sign inspection through the City's Inspection line at (206)431-2451. The 4-digit inspection code needed for
scheduling the final Sign inspection is 1510. The applicant or installer does not need to be present for the final Sign inspection.
It is the responsibility of the installer to obtain the electrical permit and inspections from the City of Tukwila Permit Center at
(206) 431-3670. The electrical inspector will need access to complete the Electrical portion of the inspection.
GENERAL
The issuance of some signage within the City may require a permit from the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT). It is the applicant's responsibility to obtain all required permits from the appropriate government agency. For
information on permits that may be required from WSDOT call (360) 705-7296.
The issuance of a sign permit shall not be construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of any of the provisions
of this code or of any other ordinance of the City. Permits presuming to give authority to violate or cancel the provisions of this
code or other ordinances of the City shall not be valid. The issuance of a permit based on construction documents and other
data shall not prevent the Director from requiring correction of errors in the construction documents and other data (TMC
19.12.020 (C)).
Pursuant to TMC 19.12.0150, sign permits shall be valid for 180 days from the date of issuance of the sign permit. The
Director may approve one extension of up to 30 days if a written request is submitted to the City BEFORE expiration of the
180 day period.
