Welcome to the City of Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) Demographic Survey. This survey is designed to help the City understand who is accessing PP&D’s services and how PP&D’s policies and services can better meet community needs.
By collecting demographic information from our community, we can more accurately measure and evaluate who we are serving, better understand gaps and opportunities in where PP&D resources are needed most, and improve and adapt our services to reach more of our community.
Your participation in the survey is completely optional and voluntary. Your responses are not associated with your permit application or online appointment in any way and cannot be used to identify you. State and federal law prohibit any discrimination based on the information provided.
We will keep the information from this survey confidential to the greatest extent possible, and we will only use the data at the aggregate level to improve our services. However, as a public agency, the information you provide to the City is a public record and may be subject to release under Oregon’s Public Records Law. This law classifies certain information as available to the public if requested.
We appreciate your participation in the survey to help us improve our services for all Portlanders.
