Permits are required for any new construction, as well as alterations and additions to existing building, including structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, manufactured housing, boiler, and elevator work. However, there are some exceptions to the structural requirements. For electrical work, Oregon law requires that if an electrical contractor performs the work, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the permit.
Electrical permits are non-transferrable.
To obtain a building permit you must complete a permit application. Permit applications are available by contacting the Department of Community Development at the Tillamook County Courthouse. Application must include construction plans and a scale plan of your property. Land use, sanitation and public works approvals are required before a building permit is issued. Contact Tillamook County Department of Community Development about these requirements prior to applying for your permit.
