Mechanical Commercial Permit

CONTRACTORS MUST APPLY FOR THEIR PERMITS VIA THE STATE E-PERMITTING PROGRAM;

Like many building depts. in Oregon, we now use Oregon e-Permitting.

Oregon ePermitting is run by the Oregon Building Codes Division, which allows licensed contractors to apply for MOST building permits with just a few clicks of a mouse!  Participation by cities or counties is voluntary and each participating city or county determines which permits are available for sale online. Most Scappoose Building permits are available via Oregon ePermitting.  To apply, use link below or search in your browser; "Oregon ePermitting".
