About as far away from working with the city of Portland as you can get. Which is a very good thing. :)

Friendly and helpful courteous people. What a breath of fresh air. My only complaint is that it takes so long to make changes that would actually benefit county residents. Bureaucracy is a slow process. There are some good reasons for that and then there are some that need to be looked at. I am a local farmer and I find that there isn't enough help for us in terms of land use planning.

THE PERMIT CENTER IS VERY HELPFUL. WE ENJOY THE ONLINE PERMITS. NICE WORK!

Questions & Answers

Can you build a 6 foot high fence around your house?

I was told 7' maximum. In EFU zoning.

does one that owns their house need a permit to add square footage to a bedroom

Donald Bridges | Aug 17, 2020
Dan Ostrom | Aug 17, 2020

Yes, any modification of the house footprint requires a permit. Such as a bedroom extension. If you own your home, you can make the addition yourself, but you still need a permit.

Can we get permits online

Dan Ostrom | Aug 17, 2020

Yes... If you are a contractor you can get new permits online. No, if you are a homeowner. For existing permit searches anyone can search online at https://accela.clackamas.us/citizenaccess/ Ignore the part about logging in--that is for contractors only for getting permits online. Anyone can search--just type your simple address (no SE/SW, no St., Blvd., Dr., Ave., Cir., etc) in the search box in the upper right corner. I understand the records do not go back before the 1996 floods. And permits were not required in unincorporated Clackamas Co. before 1972 (approximately).

I want to extend my 5ft chain link fencing to 3ft more for privacy reasons, can I do this?

Fences up to 8' are allowed for residential lots in the rear and side, and 4' in the front. No permit needed. If you want a higher fence, you need a permit. See also https://www.clackamas.us/codeenforcement/faq.html

Has there been any public interest in back yard tiny housing such as ADU's in Portland. I would like to optimize my 20,200 sq ft lot woth another small residence. Zoning R-10.

Do I come to you or West Linn Buidling Department if I am interested in subdividing a 1 acre property

Mike Nyland | Aug 18, 2018

If you are in the city limits of West Linn, go to the city. If you are in the unincorporated county, go to the Clack County office.

Go to buildzoom.com and type in your address. Also, if you are in the city, you can also go to the LO City Hall. If you are in the county, go to the Clackamas Co. office in Oregon City.

Commercial Mixed Use. That is a mixture of commercial, office, industrial, and residental uses.
