Jul 16, 2021 at 21:14 comment added Jon Custer @hobbs - indeed. In my (and neighboring) states, you end up having either county- or state-level requirements in rural areas. Whether you ever get inspected is another question, but the laws are there.
Jul 16, 2021 at 21:09 comment added hobbs @JonCuster I'm aware of what it means. Still, the locality level is cut out, and the next higher level tends to be generally less involved. It varies, of course.
Jul 16, 2021 at 16:16 comment added Jon Custer @hobbs - unincorporated does not mean no local authority. It just defaults to a higher level (the county rather than a city in the county, or potentially up to the state).
Jul 16, 2021 at 14:47 comment added hobbs @RockApe it depends. WA is one of the states that has significant unincorporated areas, where the "local authority" doesn't really exist.

Jul 15, 2021 at 20:34 comment added user35069 In the UK, prior planning permission from the local authority may be required for new-build homes and/or change of use of the land. Is this the case in, for example, WA as well as any potential changes to tax liability?
