Customized Permit Services
The City of Salem Building and Safety Division is committed to providing excellent customer
service and customer satisfaction. Our Enhanced Permit Services provide a "tool box" of options
designed to meet each customer's unique needs.
We can tailor the permitting process to your construction schedule. Whether it's through
deferred plan review submittals, expedited plan review, phased permitting, pre-submittal review
or assignment of a project coordinator on your large-scale project - we're prepared to help
you be successful in Salem. Each of the following services is available by request for a fee,
including:
Pre-Submittal Review: The Building and Safety Division will work with the professional
designer to review plans before submittal to help alleviate unnecessary delays.
Deferred Submittals: When developing a complete set of submittal documents may cause
delay on a project, portions of a building design are allowed to be submitted separately at a later
date, after the issuance of the permit.
Expedited Plan Review and Inspection Services: Plan review and inspection services need
performed outside the normal timeframes the Division has established; also includes On-Site Plan
Review offering.
On-Site Plan Reviews: Plan reviews specific to tenant improvements in an existing structure
and considered to be minor in nature, can occur in the field and on-site; one of the expedited
service offerings.
Phased Permits: This option allows construction to begin on a portion, or portions, of an
individual building before the construction documents for the whole building have been submitted
and/or approved.
Project Coordinator: At the applicant’s request, a development process expert can be assigned
as a liaison on a project. They will help shepherd the project through the permitting process.
Master Electrical Program: An annual permit for industrial uses under ORS 479.560.
Master Plan Program: When an applicant intends to submit multiple plans of the same
building, the City designates the first submittal as a “master plan.” This can provide substantial
plan review savings on subsequent submittals and expedites the review process.
Money Back Guaranteed Ten-Day Turnaround: As a service to our customers, the Building
and Safety Division offers a ten-day plan review turnaround guarantee for qualified single-family
dwelling submittals.
