Grant County, Oregon Building Department and Permits

Grant County, Oregon building department and permit records in one place. See the issuing agency, the search portal, and what the record can miss.

Wildfire code, section R327
No adoption record found checked 2026-08-06

The Building Codes Division, not the county, administers the building inspection program here (permanently). Only municipalities that administer a building inspection program may adopt Section R327, so this county cannot adopt it locally.

CORRECTED. Not a clean state-run program. BCD index page lists Grant under BCD building department services, but BCD own Grant page says the LOCAL building department provides permit services for Grant County. The two BCD pages CONFLICT; the per-county page is more specific.

The record is half the picture

A permit search shows what was filed, not what was built. The gap between the two is what a general home inspection exists to find.

Anyone inspecting in Grant County must hold a live state certification. Verify an inspector before the report is ordered, not after.
