Oregon building departments
This Oregon directory covers 36 Census county equivalents and local building-department guides. Oregon’s specialty codes are statewide, but local building departments issue permits and coordinate inspections, land use, site, and utility reviews.
How permitting works in Oregon
Statewide specialty codes with local enforcement. A county name is a geographic index, not a promise that the county government issues every building permit. Many projects are handled by a city, town, township, borough, parish, regional office, or independent city.
