What is the Builder and Developers Council?
The Developers Council is one of the Kitsap Building Association's longest-standing and most influential member groups. It provides a dedicated forum for professionals involved in land development, site planning, and the early stages of construction—including developers, builders, engineers, surveyors, architects, planners, real estate professionals, land use attorneys, utility representatives, and local jurisdictions.

Many of the KBA's successes in improving local permitting processes, development regulations, and code-related issues have been shaped through the discussions and collaborative efforts of this council.

The Developers Council serves as a place to connect, collaborate, and stay informed through:

• Jurisdictional updates from local cities, Kitsap County, and partner agencies
• Discussions on permitting, development regulations, infrastructure, and code changes
• Government Affairs updates affecting growth and development
• Educational presentations from industry experts and public officials
• Peer-to-peer collaboration to solve challenges and share best practices
• Networking opportunities with professionals involved in every stage of the development process

Whether you're developing a subdivision, planning a commercial project, navigating the permitting process, or simply want to stay informed about issues affecting growth in Kitsap County, the Developers Council provides valuable information, meaningful connections, and a voice in shaping our industry's future.
