Materials may be mailed to Land Management Division, 3050 N. Delta Highway, Eugene, Oregon 97408 or delivered in person to drop off boxes that are available in our front foyer vestibule.

Alternatively, please contact staff for potential electronic submittal options.

While submitting materials in our lobby drop off area, we ask that persons please enter the area one at a time to observe social distancing and according to the Statewide requirement effective July 1, 2020 for indoor public areas, please wear a face covering.

Typically, applying for a building permit involves a preliminary consultation with the planner-on-duty and builder-on-duty. Once these consultations are completed, an intake meeting is scheduled called the “Building Permit Review Meeting” (BPRM). During the temporary lobby closure, a two-step process will still be required with some changes:

• To apply for a building permit:

Step 1: Please discuss your project with a planner-on-duty and builder-on-duty. Provide a scaled 11x17 site plan for their review. Additional preliminary permit application materials may be provided if you would like feedback.

Step 2: After the planner-on-duty and builder-on-duty consultation and site plan review is completed, you may proceed with submitting your building permit application materials. We will review all materials in our offices and notify you via phone, email, or letter if any additional information or materials are needed after submittal.

• An in-person BPRM meeting will not be scheduled. Staff will contact you when permit creation is scheduled and when permits are ready for fee submittal.
  

Inspections may be requested. Field work and inspections will continue to occur, but only in instances where reasonably safe distances can be kept between staff and the public, to be determined by the Lane County Building Official.
