Fewer planning requirements for state construction

Beginning July 1, 2027, Washington raises the early planning review threshold for major construction projects from $10 million to $15 million. The threshold adjusts annually using the C-100 form’s inflation factor. The Office of Financial Management can waive some or all predesign requirements; projects requiring predesign do not need a modified predesign. Above the threshold, projects requiring predesign must also answer extra budget planning questions. Local planning questions apply to projects in or serving cities or counties covered by Washington’s growth-planning law. Projects requesting state funds must address regional coordination, other funding sources, and environmental matters.
