Oregon ePermitting (state portal)
Springfield AND Lane County both participate in the state ePermitting programme. Springfield routes through the shared state portal rather than a city system. buildingpermits.oregon.gov FAILS TLS: its certificate covers only cbs.state.or.us. Use the aca-oregon.accela.com path instead. Do not publish the buildingpermits.oregon.gov hostname as a working link.

Drinking water protection overlay
THE REAL SPRINGFIELD DIFFERENTIATOR. Springfield drinking water is 100 PERCENT GROUNDWATER FROM WELLFIELDS; Eugene is McKenzie River surface water. The overlay regulates hazardous-materials storage by TIME-OF-TRAVEL ZONE, strictest in the 0 to 1 year TOTZ: quantity limits, underground storage tank restrictions, secondary containment, management plans, and an outright ban on all new DNAPL uses.
Floodplain overlay and levee
Floodplain Development Permit required for any development in flood hazard areas within the Springfield UGB. LOWEST FLOOR MUST BE 1 FOOT ABOVE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION, freeboard above the FEMA minimum. Manufactured dwellings: bottom of longitudinal chassis frame beam at or above BFE, with anchoring. The 50 percent substantial-improvement rule applies.
