Kittitas County wrote its wildfire construction rules into its own code rather than adopting a model book wholesale — a locally printed application, on the books since 2021-03-02. What applies to your house reads from the county's text.

Local drafting means local questions: seven checks stay open, including one most places don't have — whether the fire-department boundary reaches the parcel — and what we can't tell you yet lists every one.

Washington's only sourced local application sits here. The county runs USDA half-zones 6b and 7a, with 503 plant records documented locally of 593 statewide, and 83 product matches across 9 parts of the house; living here takes the garden from there.

What applies to your house here

Kittitas County WUI and locally printed construction application, adopted 2021-03-02, is the construction answer here.

Kittitas County WUI and locally printed construction application

Kittitas County declares every unincorporated area WUI and applies its current local WUI amendments there; Chapter 14.12 separately sets Class C, B, or A roof-covering floors by hazard class, but its classification system limits the hazard-specific Class A and B paths to areas outside a fire department. Parcel jurisdiction, that fire-department boundary, the current hazard map and class, water and defensible-space inputs, project trigger, exact classified configuration, effective date, and official review remain open.

  • Whether the instrument is in force for this project's date.
  • Whether the fire-department boundary includes the parcel.
  • The official boundary that would put a parcel inside the application.
  • Confirmation from the building official for this project.
  • The official hazard class for the lot.
  • The official hazard or WUI map for the lot.
  • Whether this project type is in scope of the instrument.
