Mountlake Terrace: Plot plans made easy
People can now more easily view plot plans — maps showing property boundaries, water and sewer lines and other information — by visiting Mountlake Terrace City Hall.
Permit specialists at the front counter at City Hall can now provide plot plans in less than two minutes. Before, the process took longer, with requests having to go through a city planner.
Plot plans help property owners plan for improvements such as fences, driveways and building additions.
For more information on plot plans, please visit www.cityofmlt.com or call Edith Duttlinger at 425-744-6279.
