OAR 918-050-0000: Purpose and Scope

Division 50 provides administrative procedures for use in all regions of the state and, where applicable, to specified regions of the state. These rules address a uniform methodology for arriving at building permit and inspection fees to provide consistency in fee calculation. Where a permitted item is not covered by the methodology in these rules, a municipality may either, develop a reasonable permit fee, or calculate a fee using a similar program area’s methodology. These rules do not supersede or repeal the existing provisions of the state building code and related rules. These rules become effective on January 1, 2009.
