How Do I Request a Revision to My Issued Vending or Long-Term Public Space Management (PSM) Permit?

Some Street Use permits allow changes after issuance. A change to an issued permit is called an Amendment. Submit a Revision Amendment request when you want to request changes. This article only applies to the following permit types:

• • • Temporary Activation
    • Private Structures/Uses
    • Shoreline Street End
    • Waterway
    • Council Term Permit
    • Vending
    • Street Vacation
    • Seasonal Business Use

If you want to change a Construction, Minor Utility, Utility Major, or Street Improvement Permit, refer to How Do I Request a Revision to My Issued Construction, Utility, or Street Improvement Permit.

Revision Amendment applications, like all permit applications, are reviewed and approved by Street Use staff. There are no documents required at the time of submission for a Revision Amendment. Your reviewer may request a document during the review process. A standard Street Use permit Modification fee applies if your Amendment request is approved. Additional fees may also apply depending on the type of change. Just like for other applications, any fee is paid (or billed) before your approved Amendment is issued.

When a Revision Amendment is issued, the parent record is updated to reflect the changes. Inspection scheduled dates may be updated. The expiration date on the parent record is also updated if required. For an overview of the amendment process, refer to What Happens to Your Original Permit When an Amendment is Issued.

The instructions below provide the steps to revise an issued Vending or Long-Term Public Space Management permit using a Revision Amendment:

1. Log in to Seattle Services Portal to access your application. 

   IMPORTANT: if you do not yet have a Seattle Services Portal Account, you must register before proceeding. The contact information you provide during registration must match the contact information we have on record for your permit.

2. On the My Records page, locate the permit you wish to amend.
3. In the Action column associated with your permit, click Make Changes. If you do not see a Make Changes link then this permit cannot be amended online.
   
4. On the Select an Amendment Type page, select Private Structures/Uses Permit Revision.
5. Click Continue Application.
   
6. The Project Address page is read-only. Verify you are requesting a change at the correct address and click Continue Application to continue to the Contacts page.

Using Enable Access before starting an amendment includes that contact on all future amendments related to the parent.
