Inspections and Office Hours

The City of Seaside is proud to announce that the online permitting process has fully launched.  The web-based system allows you to apply for permits, pay applications fees via credit card, view application status, schedule inspections, and search records for public viewing.  This is available 24 hours a day for your convenience.  To apply for and pay for permits and schedule inspections, please access the Oregon ePermitting website.

The Building Official is generally available between 8 and 9 am every morning and available at other times, depending on the number of requested inspections.  General building and planning information is available during our office hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. We ask that you arrive before 4:30pm when submitting land use or permit applications and to pick up permits that are awaiting issuance and over the counter permits for minor work (not requiring plan review). Inspections can be scheduled online, calling our office, via the IVR phone system, through the IVR texting system, or in person.

Inspections are available Monday through Friday.  Notice is needed up to 4:00 pm the day prior for an inspection on those days. The Building Official arranges the order of inspections at 9:00 am and he can be contacted at that time to get an idea when he will be in your area.  For plumbing inspections, inspections will be performed Tuesdays and Thursdays.

In addition, the Planning Director and the Building Official are part of the City's emergency operations team. The City's Building Official and our City Engineer are certified and provide post-event evaluations of potentially damaged buildings and infrastructures within the city limits to determine if they are safe.
