Eastern Oregon
Union County
Union County, Oregon: which agency issues building permits, where the records live, and wildfire code adoption status.
Wildfire code, section R327
No adoption record found checked 2026-08-06
The adoption rule provides that if a city does not administer a building inspection program but the county does, R327 application for the city would be determined at county level. In Union County the INVERSE applies: R327 authority sits with the CITY OF LA GRANDE, not the county.
