Development Information

Building Permits
Since July 1, 2007 Douglas County Building Department has conducted the building permit plan review and inspection process for properties within the City of Roseburg. The development review process consists of two steps. First applicants apply to City of Roseburg for site plan review approval. Upon approval by the City, applicants provide structural plans and copies of the city approval to Douglas County Building Department. Douglas County Building Department also issues all plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits within the City limits.

If you have any questions about our process, City of Roseburg staff members are available 8:00-noon and 1-5 p.m. 541-492-6750 or email Chrissy Matthews at cmatthews@cityofroseburg.org.
