Concrete removal in Bothell
We are a Seattle concrete removal referral service. Tell us what needs to go and we'll connect you with one local concrete removal company — not five.
Bothell is one city in two counties. The city's own demographics report says it "straddles both King and Snohomish" counties, and that line matters more for a concrete job than you might expect. Which side of it you live on decides which public waste system will take your debris.
The city side is simpler. Bothell has one right-of-way permit for driveway and sidewalk work, with a published 2026 fee and a bond and insurance requirement that most homeowners do not know about until they apply. Below is what each of those means for your project. When you are ready, send us the details and we pass your job to one local concrete removal company, free for you.

Check which county your address is in
King County's solid waste system serves 37 cities and unincorporated areas, and its facilities page tells Snohomish County residents to contact their own local government for service. Snohomish County's own waste acceptance list does not treat concrete as ordinary garbage; its entry for concrete says to refer to the county's hard-to-handle information.
So a homeowner north of the county line and one south of it can face different stations, rules and fees for the same broken patio. Your property tax statement names your county. If a removal company is hauling the debris for you, this matters less, but it is worth knowing if you plan to haul any of it yourself.
Bothell's driveway and sidewalk permit
Bothell's 2026 Public Works fee schedule lists a "Driveway and sidewalk - right of way invasion permit" at $787, with a 5% technology surcharge added on top. That is the city's fee for the permit, not a price for the removal work.
Two footnotes on the same schedule apply to every right-of-way permit. The work needs a bond, on City of Bothell forms, and a certificate of insurance for $1,000,000 naming the city as additional insured. That certificate normally comes from the contractor's insurer, which is one more reason the permit usually sits with whoever does the work.
- Removing a driveway apron that meets the street: right-of-way permit
- Replacing a sidewalk panel: right-of-way permit
- Breaking out a backyard patio: not right-of-way work, though grading rules can apply on larger jobs
Questions to ask before you hire
Ask whether the quote includes pulling the Bothell permit, posting the bond and supplying the insurance certificate. Ask where the debris will go, and whether the company is used to working on your side of the county line.
Bothell's housing is a mix. The city's demographics report counts 20,824 housing units, 52% of them single-family homes, so plenty of jobs are townhouse or condo patios where access and HOA rules shape the work as much as the slab does.
