What Does Community Development Do?
The City of Bellevue’s Community Development Department assists the community with long- and short-term planning. The department performs administrative duties, recommends actions to city committees, and assesses needs for housing, services, transportation improvements, and opportunities for revitalization within our city.
Our department also offers a one-stop permit shop for land and building development in Bellevue and the surrounding service areas. We review plans, inspect projects, and investigate code violations. These services ensure that projects are safe and aligned with federal, state, and city codes.
Our Mission
Our mission is to preserve the things our community loves the most about Bellevue, while thoughtfully planning for change and growth. We want to help Bellevue residents to access more services, pursue a great quality of life, and be prosperous, and enjoy their private property.
