Remote Inspections:

The City of Eugene Building & Permit Services is committed to supporting our local construction and development community by performing timely inspection of construction work during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to continue this essential function in a safe manner and comply with distancing guidelines to limit the spread of the virus, we are implementing a new process for inspections within occupied dwellings.
