How to Submit Your EDG Application

SDCI accepts Early Design Guidance (EDG) applications on a rolling basis, based on when a complete application is submitted. You don't need to schedule an intake appointment for EDG applications. Please keep in mind that your pre-submittal notes must be approved by the City before you can submit an EDG application.

1. Login to your Seattle Services Portal account or create one if necessary
2. Click My Records
   
   
3. Find the correct record from your project list that ends with an -EG suffix

   Note: Use the filters to refine your search and narrow your results. If necessary, use the next page or page number tool at the bottom of the page to locate your record.

4. Click the Make Changes button (do not click on the Record Number link)
   
   

   Note: If you are submitting materials for permit application intake, in response to corrections, or in response to request from us for additional information, you must use the Make Changes button that appears next to the record on the My Records page. This will ensure your materials are seen and put in the queue for us to review. (You should only upload materials through the record attachments page when SDCI staff specifically tell you to do so.)

5. Select Upload Documents from the list of options
   
   

   If you do not see the Upload Documents option, then we do not need additional documents at this time.
