Redmond ADU Corrections & Resubmittal
Corrections is the round-trip step after each Redmond review. The city sends consolidated comments, the applicant responds in writing and reuploads revised plans, and the package goes back to the same reviewers. Most ADU permits go through one to three corrections cycles.

What corrections & resubmittal actually means in Redmond
Corrections work in cycles. The city writes comments, the applicant responds in writing and revises the plans, and the city re-reviews. Each cycle restarts the review clock for the disciplines that had comments — not always for every discipline.
A corrections response is not just "we changed the plan." The city expects a comment-by-comment response letter that points to where each fix lives in the revised drawings. Skipping that letter almost always produces another corrections cycle.
The applicant controls about half of the corrections timeline: how fast you return the revised package, how completely you addressed every single comment, and whether the response letter is easy for the reviewer to follow.
REDMOND NOTE
Redmond corrections cycles run through the PRO portal — the same naming and formatting rules that apply at intake apply on every resubmittal.
Why Redmond corrections & resubmittal hits the high end
- 01Number of comments and how interrelated they are
- 02Whether responses address every comment and not just the easy ones
- 03Whether revised drawings stay consistent across architectural, structural, and energy sheets
- 04Reviewer availability when the resubmittal comes back
Where the dollars actually come from
- 01Most cities charge re-review hours when the corrections cycle exceeds the included hours; the fee subtitle or fee schedule defines the hourly rate
- 02There is usually no flat 'corrections fee' — costs are hourly
Exact dollar amounts vary by project. Use the Redmond fee schedule linked below for the current numbers.
Common homeowner mistakes
Reviewers can reject the resubmittal at intake when there is no narrative response — they cannot tell what changed.
Changing the floor plan to satisfy a building comment can re-trigger a land-use comment on lot coverage. Cross-check every change against the other disciplines before resubmitting.
Some cities expire applications that sit in corrections too long. Move within the city's published window.
Corrections & Resubmittal checklist
These are typical artifacts for an ADU project at this phase in Washington cities. Exact requirements depend on the project and the current Redmond submittal checklist — verify with the city before submitting.
- Written comment-response letter, comment by comment
- Revised plan set with revision clouds and revision number
- Updated structural / energy / stormwater pages where the comment touches them
- Revised project data sheet if scope changed
When to call a pro
If Redmond comments touch structural, energy, or stormwater, loop the responsible consultant in immediately — late hand-offs are the most common cause of a third corrections cycle.

What's the most common reason corrections & resubmittal stalls in Redmond?

Do I need a contractor or designer for Redmond corrections & resubmittal?
Not legally required for owner-applicants, but in Redmond every ADU permit eventually touches building, land use, fire, and public works review tracks. A designer of record is effectively required because review comments are technical and time-bound.
