Due to budget constraints, Portland Permitting & Development's Septic Program has limited staffing. As a result, we are experiencing occasional delays in scheduling site evaluations, permit plan review timelines, and inspection activities. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

To receive updates and other program news, please email septic@portlandoregon.gov. Updates are expected to be infrequent and sent when we anticipate temporarily reduced staffing so that you can plan accordingly.
