Short Plat Updated 2/6/2025 Page 1 of 7 Development and Permitting Services 333 S. Meridian Puyallup, WA 98371 [PHONE REDACTED] www.cityofpuyallup.org A short plat is the subdivision of an existing lot into two to four separate lots. It is different from a boundary line adjustment as it creates new, buildable lots and does not solely move lot lines between lots. If you are proposing a subdivision resulting in five or more lots, you will need to apply for a major plat instead. If a lot has already been subdivided in the past, but was combined for tax purposes, a short plat may not be required. Pre-applications are highly recommended before applying for a short plat. Submittal Instructions Create an account on Select “Apply for Planning Permit” Select “Short Plat” from drop down list. Fill out all sections of the online form and upload all required documents.

All critical areas identified and their associated buffers, must be shown on the title and map. You can look up critical areas and buffers on the City’s interactive GIS portal at puyallup.opendata.arcgis.com/ then scroll to the “Applications” section of the page and select “City of Puyallup Critical Areas App” to view.
