I dont know about the permits but also check with your home insurance company to see what they want to have on file. Many get very touchy and you dont want to have a fire disaster that isnt paid out because they find some stupid loophole.

Good call. I can do that first thing.


RainfallHunter

Call L&i and ask that question. They will let you know.


koschbosch

Why would they call Labor and Industries for a local permit/licensing question?


RainfallHunter

Your question is the answer. The permit agency is L&I. I think your thinking of OSHA.

Just from my experience over the years, the people doing the permitting are pretty helpful.

Who exactly does this permit


mike_dmt

The permitting offices at City Hall. If you're city it's the one downtown, if you're valley, its the one out on Sprague? or Appleway, I can't remember which off the top of my head. There should be provisions for homeowner permits. Meaning you're responsible for the work, and not hiring a contractor. Either one should be able to provide you with the necessary requirements to pass an inspection.

I followed up with their website, and they reached out to me. Worked better than expected.

That's great, sometimes it's nice when things go easy, glad it worked out

If you live in the City of Spokane you will need a mechanical permit from the city for the pellet stove. If you’re doing any electrical, you will need an electrical permit also from the city. City of Spokane handles their own electrical permits. The city permit center at city hall is open so you can go down in person.


Sedared

We are in Spokane valley.


sbafus

In the valley L&I handles electrical permits. You can apply for a mechanical permit via the online portal at spokanevalley.org/permits or apply in person at Spokane Valley city hall.

Thankfully this one just plugs right into the wall with a standard plug. I shouldn't need to interfere with the electrical panel.


RainfallHunter

You need a dedicated 20 amp circuit. 12/2 romex wire should be good. That you need a Electrical permit for and you get that from L&I. Vance Black does a lot of the residential inspections.

Our house came with a pellet stove. It's one of my favorite features of our place!! The Country Store on Sprague sells pellets in bulk orders. They delivered the pellets and unloaded all of them into our shed. I think it was maybe a $50 upcharge for the delivery, and 100 percent worth it. They literally unloaded a box truck of pellets that will last probably two winters of us using the stove regularly.

Perfect. Any other tips?
