Permit Process

ePermitting Help Desk: 503-373-7396

Pendleton is a member of the ePermitting system. If you are a licensed contractor, please log into ePermitting and create your application. Pendleton utilizes the digital review system, so plans need to be be submitted digitally through ePermitting. Plans are reviewed by our Zoning clerk, Building Plan Reviewer, Engineering, and Public Works (if necessary). Once each department has performed their reviews and all concerns are addressed, the plans are stamped and signed. Our office will either call or invoice through the ePermitting system. Construction can begin after the permit is issued. Our Finance Department accepts cash, money order, check, in-person card payment, or payment online through ePermitting.
