  • ✓What the job was declared at on the permit.
  • Who did the work. The city's file doesn't name contractors, so we can't rank, compare or profile firms here.

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 CCB license search, then ask the city whether they pulled the permit for your job.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Tigard, TigardMaps Permitting: All Permits (ArcGIS layer), read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.

Building and trade permits the City of Tigard issues inside the city limits only. King City, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Durham and unincorporated Washington County (such as Bull Mountain outside the city) have their own permit offices and are not in this file.

  • The city's permit layer names no contractor, so there are no contractor lists, rankings or firm pages for Tigard.
  • The layer marks a permit closed but gives no final inspection date, so these pages show which permits finished but not how long they took.
  • Plumbing, mechanical and electrical permits are separate from the building permit for the same job, so one job can count several times.
  • The value is the valuation on the permit, which sets the fee. Trade permits carry none. It is not a final cost.
  • Planning and land-use cases, right-of-way and utility permits, erosion control and code-compliance cases are left out.

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