Eugene Building Department | Permits, Inspections & Contact

The City of Eugene Building and Permit Services office handles building permits, plan review, inspections, code compliance, and city land-use coordination within Eugene city limits. Lane County is a separate permitting authority for qualifying unincorporated areas, while Springfield and other incorporated jurisdictions operate their own permit programs.

Eugene building permits and eBuild

Eugene requires electronic submission through the city’s eBuild permit system. Applicants can submit plans, manage active projects, respond to review comments, pay fees, and retrieve approved documents. The city’s Building Permit Services page also provides permit search by permit number, address, map, tax lot, person, business, or contractor.

Check Eugene zoning and land-use requirements before submitting a structural application. Depending on the project, the review may include building, zoning, public works, stormwater, fire, or other city approvals. Lane County requirements do not automatically apply to a project inside Eugene.

Inspections, code compliance, and occupancy records

Use the eBuild inspection tools or the city’s My Permits mobile site to schedule, cancel, or reschedule required inspections. Eugene asks customers to schedule before 7 a.m. for a same-day request when available; inspection support is 541-682-5283.

Building and Permit Services maintains inspection records and certificates of occupancy or compliance for construction permits. A final approval or occupancy document depends on the inspections and approvals listed for the specific permit, so the permit record—not a generic checklist—controls the project closeout.
