Eugene, OR building permits

Data through September 2026 · updated 19 Oct 2026

17,935 building permits were issued in Eugene from October 2024 to September 2026, about 8,968 a year. Electrical permits lead with 5,835, then HVAC (5,394) and plumbing (2,926). 72% were for homes. The city's file names contractors, but the report cuts each name at 30 characters and we haven't matched the names to Oregon CCB license records, so we don't list, rate, rank or profile firms from it: these pages show what was built and when.

What this page can and can't show

  • ✓Permits the city issued, by kind of work and month.
  • ✓What the job was declared at on the permit.
  • Who does good work. The city's file names contractors, but the report cuts each name at 30 characters and we haven't matched the names to Oregon CCB license records, so we don't list, rate, rank or profile firms from it.
  • Which permits were finished. The city's issued-permit report carries no permit status or completion date.
  • Where, by ZIP code. The file carries no usable ZIP code.
  • Street addresses or owners. We publish counts and permit rows without them.

Building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, manufactured-home, fire-sprinkler and sign permits the City of Eugene issued inside the city. Public-works (right-of-way), erosion-control and site-development permits are left out. Springfield and unincorporated Lane County run their own permit offices and are not in this file.

Hiring someone here?

The permit file can't tell you who does good work. Ask for the contractor's license number and look it up at the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, then ask the city whether they pulled the permit for your job.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Eugene Planning & Development, Building Activity Reports: Issued Building Permits (export), read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The city's issued-permit report carries no permit status or completion date, so no finished share is shown.

Building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, manufactured-home, fire-sprinkler and sign permits the City of Eugene issued inside the city. Public-works (right-of-way), erosion-control and site-development permits are left out. Springfield and unincorporated Lane County run their own permit offices and are not in this file.

  • Eugene issues the building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work for one project as separate permits under one log number, each with its own issue date; each counts once here, under its own trade.
  • The city's report has no permit status or completion date, so we show no finished share and no time to final.
  • The report gives a street address but no ZIP code, so there are no ZIP pages.
  • Values are the declared value of work on building permits only; trade permits are left unpriced because most carry no value or the whole project's figure.
  • Homes are the permits the city files under its Residential application type (one- and two-family dwellings, townhouses, ADUs and manufactured homes); apartments of five or more units are commercial.
  • Building permits for alterations and repairs are sorted into roofing, solar, pools, fences or garages, sheds and decks where the city's project description names one.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
