Permits for Owners doing own work

For Homeowners and Non-Contractors, building permit applications an option for online applications is not currently offered and may be submitted by mail, email or in person at City Hall.  Homeowners and Non-Contractors permit holders can still use the ePermitting program to schedule inspections, pay fees, and check permit status; and homeowners and non-contractors do not need to create an account to access these features! 

A homeowner may perform work on their residence or property and is exempt for licensure with the Construction Contractors Board (CCB), in accordance with ORS 701.010.  As the permit holder for a construction project, the homeowner is responsible for notifying the building department at the appropriate times, so that the required inspections can be performed. Homeowners are also responsible for resolving any failure to meet code requirements that may be found through inspections. Oregon Law requires residential construction permit applicants who are not licensed with the CCB to sign an “owner doing own work affidavit” before a building permit can be issued, in accordance with ORS 701.325(2).
