Summary
Also known as "combo permit". A permit package that includes the building permit and all the trade permits (electrical, mechanical, and plumbing). The benefit of a combo permit is that you only need one permit number to schedule inspections and pay rather than managing four separate permit numbers.
The Residential Combination Permit package is only for projects involving one- or two-family dwelling units.
This package streamlines the permit process for projects involving structural or building work, as well as trade work.
You can also use your IVR number. IVR has seven numbers, while the permit number has 15 characters.
How it works
- Submit trade applications with your building permit application: Submit your completed trade permit applications with your building permit application (with all required forms and plans) on DevHub. We will process your permits together as a "Residential Combination Permit" package.
- Use these trade permit applications:
- Need to submit trade permits later? Send your trade permit applications to PPDTradePermits@portlandoregon.gov.
Include your building permit number or IVR number. You can submit the trade permit application while the building permit is in the following statuses:- Under review
- Approved to issue
- Issued
- Under inspection
- Unified inspections: The main benefit is that all necessary inspections for the project can be scheduled using a single permit (or IVR) number associated with the combined permit.
- Streamlined payment: You can pay the fees for all permits included in the package at one time.
When to use it
- Projects with trade work: The combo permit is ideal for projects that require a building permit and also involve mechanical, electrical, or plumbing work.
