Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D)

How permitting works in Oregon

Oregon cities act as agents of the state. While the city issues the permit, its role is strictly monitored by the state Building Codes Division (BCD) to ensure that the city's department meets statewide performance and digital-permitting standards.

State BCD enforces unless locality assumes duties.
