Homeowners must apply for a permit at the building department that has jurisdiction over their city or county. To find your jurisdiction, call your nearest city hall and ask what building jurisdiction
you should contact for your permit. Be sure to mention your address and the type of work you are planning.
The following are links to the building departments in the Tri-County area of Washington, Clackamas and Multnomah counties, to all building jurisdictions in the state of Oregon, and as a courtesy
to our neighbors to the north, to the building departments of SW Washington.
