The Building Division is responsible for the review of building plans, issuance of permits and the inspection of all commercial, industrial and residential construction activity.
Our Building Division understands that our customers are busy people. Many homeowners have day jobs that don't allow for daytime research. That's why we try and put as much information on our website as possible so that it's available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Here we answer many questions that people have.
Although the Oregon City Building Division is not responsible for enforcing EPA lead paint removal rules, the safety and health of the city’s citizens is our number one priority. As a public service we would like to raise awareness of the risks of childhood lead-poisoning. If your home or a home you will be working on has been painted prior to 1978, it is likely to have lead-based paint. Oregon DHS reports that nearly 50% of childhood lead poisonings are likely related to repainting and remodeling in the home.
The City of Oregon City Building Division takes customer service very seriously. We pride ourselves on great customer service and strive to achieve good relations with our customers and value the opinions of our citizens. Please take a moment to fill out our customer service survey.
