Permits & Processes.

Before you can build, rezone, install a sign, serve liquor, and more, you must gain approval from the City of Ferndale. Our review and approval process ensures the safety, legality, and cohesive appearance of new projects and developments throughout the City.

We provide two routes to obtain the permits you need.

Navigating the permit process can be difficult, so we provide two routes to obtain the permits you need. If you are already familiar with the Ferndale permitting process, feel free to go directly to the self-service permit center. If you are new to this, take the guided route through the permit process.

We also offer a City-wide fee schedule, which highlights all associated city fees and their appropriate charges. You can find that here.
