Inspections that are requested prior to 7:00am are normally conducted on the date requested; inspection requests received after 7:00am will be accomplished the following business day unless a later date is requested.

Inspection staff provide inspection services between 8:30am and 3:30pm each working day. Inspections outside of these hours may be arranged through the Building Official. Furthermore, electrical and plumbing inspections are not available on Fridays, as these inspections are performed by Clackamas County Inspectors. The County Offices are now operating on a Monday-Thursday schedule only. Please call 503-722-3789 for more information.

Please keep in mind that the City of Oregon City is closed on all major holidays. Inspections will not be performed on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day (Both Thursday and Friday), or Christmas Day. If a holiday should fall on a Saturday, we will be closed the Friday before. If a holiday should fall on a Sunday, we will be closed the Monday after to observe the holiday.

Due to the short turn around time we have to prepare all of our inspections for the day, all inspection information MUST be provided correctly to receive your inspection.

Thank you for your efforts!
