What to do after permit issuance

What do I do after my permit is issued?

After a permit issues, follow the next steps to ensure you are on track with the permit process.

1. Confirm all permit fees are paid.  If a structural permit has associated mechanical, electrical or plumbing permits, these separate permits must be paid individually online through Oregon ePermitting. Link to Oregon ePermitting
2. Download approved plans from Oregon ePermitting.
3. Send plans to your printing company of choice, to be printed in color and to scale.  Minimum page size 11x17 and must be onsite for inspections.
4. Review permits to verify Contractor listed on the permit is correct.
5. Proceed with development per approved permits. Be sure to schedule inspections as required.  Link to inspection requirements page
6. Confirm all permits receive an approved final inspection at the end of the project. 
   1. Some projects require an insulation certificate to be uploaded.
   2. Related permits for onsite/septic, mechanical, electrical or plumbing must also have final approved inspections, otherwise this can prevent the structural permit from closing.
7. If development changes, and the building deviates from the approved plans, you will need to submit a revision.  Link to revision requirements
8. Deschutes County has the right to rescind a supplemental mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and demolition permits that may require additional information.
