Which office handles the property?
Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Thurston County publish separate contact paths. Confirm the responsible office for the project before relying on a general repair label.
What work changes the permit question?
A roof enlargement, added skylight, structural repair, or pitch change needs a different permit review from ordinary reroofing. Thurston County exempts ordinary roof repair and replacement from its building permit, but lists those changes as permit triggers. This is the County rule; city properties use their city permit process, and other approvals may apply.
