Get inspections
All permitted projects will need final inspections to get approved. Some projects will need inspections before and during the work, as well.
You'll need an inspection for any food cart pod, even if there's been no construction. This is to confirm the building meets all the rules for its new use.
Here’s the basic process of getting an inspection:
Schedule an inspection.
You'll do this by scheduling on DevHub (under Inspections) or by calling 503-823-7000. Find more details in the next section.
The inspector will show up and review the work.
Inspectors will communicate any issues to you via email. If you need to make changes, you'll do that and then schedule another inspection. You can also see the inspection report in DevHub.
Once all the work passes the final inspection, you're done!
Your permit is finalized. Congratulations!
Does your project include the public right-of-way or fire safety work?
