In-person Services Limited at Portland's Development Services Center Online Portal Down for Updates

The Development Services Center in Portland provides in-person services limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays, necessitating pre-scheduled appointments for most services. Meanwhile, many building permit services are accessible online 24/7 for convenience. On June 30, the Development Hub PDX online permit portal will be down for updates from 4:30 to 7 p. m. , also affecting the Interactive Voice Response system.

Customers can submit permit applications under current fees until the deadline of 11:59 p. m. on June 30. This temporary unavailability is necessary to implement fee changes that take effect on July 1. These changes may impact the cost of various permits, which could affect local developers and builders.

The updates are part of ongoing efforts to streamline permitting processes in the city. Ensuring timely submissions before the deadline is crucial for those seeking permits.
