Building

The Building Department is responsible for reviewing construction plans, permitting and performing inspections to ensure compliance with Oregon Building Code.

All new construction and development, as well as most remodeling projects require a permit in Aurora. Commercial and industrial projects, including new construction or a remodel of an existing building, as well as new residential development and other actions requiring land-use and site review, must follow prescribed city processes: start with a pre-application conference.

If you are unfamiliar with the development process or you are unsure how to proceed with your project, please contact City Staff. The City of Aurora contracts with Northwest Code Professionals to provide building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical plan review and inspections throughout the city. Staff reviews City development codes and ordinances to ensure buildings meet zoning requirements. The City's contracted inspectors monitor construction through the inspection process.

The City of Aurora offers online submittal for building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical permits!
