Portland Permitting & Development now up and running
A unified development review organization brings together 350 professionals from five bureaus to continue improvements to the building permit process and keep construction projects on track. Learn more.
Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) manages building permits, land use, inspections, code enforcement, and public works permits to ensure our built environment is safe and accessible.
The purpose of this rule is to establish a citation-based enforcement process for violations of Portland City Code (PCC) 33.207. This rule applies to any property owner engaged in offering or allowing Type A or Type B accessory short-term rentals as defined in PCC 33.207.
The rainy season is coming. For seven months, greater care must be taken to ensure dirt and sediments don’t leave construction sites that involve ground-disturbing activity.
These updates better enable the City of Portland to act against short-term rental hosts who violate the City’s rules. They also make the application and reporting processes easier for hosts.
The Development Review Advisory Committee (DRAC) is an advisory body representing those with interests in the outcomes of policies, budgets, regulations, and procedures that affect development review processes. Its meetings are regularly held on the third Thursday of the month from 8 to 10 a.m.
