Seattle Residential Code R105.2 exempts from a building permit, among other things: small repair or alteration jobs valued at no more than $6,000 over six months that do not touch loadbearing supports; repointing a chimney and in-kind repair of deteriorated members where the building envelope is unchanged; roof recover; and replacement of a mechanical component that does not alter the system's original approval. R105.3 adds that separate mechanical, electrical, plumbing or land-use permits may still be required. No SDCI page read states a rule specific to chimney rebuilds or liner replacement.
