This
area is provided for easy access to
state, county and city information
in regards to electrical permits,
fees, applications and code. We do
not recommend performing any
electrical work yourself.
Hire an
electrician who has the
certification and training to do the
job safely.
But if
your going to attempt it yourself
it's important to know . . .
-
You
must be
both the owner
and the occupant of a
house in order to do the
electrical work yourself.
-
For
safety reasons this work may
not be on a house or
residential unit that will be
for sale, lease, or rent
in the near future.
-
If
you do not intend to both own
and live in the unit, a
licensed electrical contractor
must
do the work.

Important Information regarding
temporary permits for emergency,
unanticipated and service work.
With a
renewed interest in compliance by
local authorities for both licensing
and permits, it is very important
for every contractor to have a
permit on the job when you begin
work.
How do
you do that for emergency
unanticipated work, or service work
you ask. Follow the information
below and you will protect yourself.
Unfortunately, contractor work
cannot begin before a permit is
issued (ORS 479.550), and the
serving Utilities cannot reconnect
power to repaired services until the
installation is approved by the
jurisdiction (ORS 479.570). Oregon
Revised Statutes (ORS) and Oregon
Administrative Rules (OAR) do
provide some relief allowing
emergency work before a permit is
issued, and reconnection before
inspection by the jurisdiction. They
are:
ORS
479.550 and OAR 918-309-0080 allow
the use of a temporary permit in an
emergency.
ORS
479.570(2)(1) allows a licensed
signing supervisor to request, in
writing, reconnection of a service
to which the appropriate electrical
permit has been attached |
