Permit Processing, Payment, Delivery and Refunds

Payment

Many permits do not require a plan review (furnace replacement, irrigation backflow, water service replacement, addition of an electrical circuit, etc…). For those types of projects, complete permit applications that are received in person at the counter will be processed while the customer waits. Permit applications received through the mail, fax or through the Tri-County E-permitting program that are complete and have the correct payment included will be processed by the next business day. If the information lacking is minor in nature and can be provided over the telephone by the applicant, staff will complete the form and process the application. When mailed, faxed, and Tri-County E-permitting permit applications have been processed, the permit and receipt will be mailed or faxed to the applicant.

Fee Refunds and Waivers

The Building Official is authorized by Beaverton Code 8.02.020 to authorize the refunding of:

  • Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical Permit fees paid for a permit under which no work is commenced and inspections conducted; and,
  • The plan review fees, if the application for which the plans are submitted is withdrawn before the plan review commences; and,
  • No fee shall be refunded except on a written request by the applicant and received by the Building Official no later than 180 days after payment. Requests for waiver or refunding of all other permit fees shall be made to the City Council.

The City shall retain, for repayment of the costs of administration, 20 percent of any fee to be refunded or $100, whichever is less.
