| The Building Codes Division issues permits for its statewide amusement ride, boiler and pressure vessel, manufactured dwelling, prefab, elevator and minor label programs, and for construction work taking place in the jurisdictions for which the division is the building department. The division also provides consumer information and sponsors an award-winning statewide public outreach initiative called Permits Protect! that alerts homeowners to the value of obtaining permits and using licensed contractors. And, to provide consistent and efficient permitting services to contractors, the division is piloting an e-permitting website, BuildingPermits.Oregon.gov, that allows contractors in the Portland tri-county
area to apply and pay for over-the-counter plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits online.
