The Bureau of Development Services is proposing to change many of its fees starting July 1, 2023. The Portland City Council approved the fee changes on May 31 for properties within city limits.

Development Services also provides permitting services to properties in some unincorporated areas of Multnomah County. The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners will consider proposed fee changes for those areas on Thursday, June 15.

To submit a permit application under the fees in effect through June 30, 2023, please follow each of these requirements:
