A demolition permit is required whenever a structure regulated by the State of Oregon Residential Specialty Code or the Oregon Structural Specialty Code is proposed to be demolished. The removal of a portion of a building is considered an alteration to that structure and is usually reviewed and permitted as part of a larger project, and not typically as a stand-alone demolition permit.
Work requiring permits require inspections to verify that components and systems are installed and completed in accordance with the Oregon Building Codes and the City of Warrenton Municipal Code.
