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 We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.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 →
