Days that the Building Codes Division offices will be closed

 
Building Codes Division's mandatory closures
As you know, tough economic times have severely reduced state revenues, forcing legislatures throughout the nation to make deep cuts in state budgets. Nearly half the states have found that temporary closures and furloughs are necessary ways to save money while preserving the important functions and services of state government.

As part of its strategy to address its own budget cuts, Oregon's state government will close most agencies on 10 Fridays that fall throughout the current two-year budget period from July 2011 through June 2013 (see the list of closure dates below). The closures will require our employees to take mandatory unpaid furloughs on those days.

The Department of Consumer and Business Services will close all its offices on these days. This includes the main office for the Oregon Building Codes Division in Salem and the two BCD field offices in Pendleton and Coquille. BCD enforcement officers will be working on mandatory closure days. We also recommend that you request electrical inspections that are done by BCD employees early, so there is little inconvenience.

We expect online services that are normally available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be available on the closure days. This would include both our ePermitting and Minor Label Web sites.

We regret any inconvenience these closures may cause. Please be assured we will do everything possible to minimize disruption and hardship to those who rely on our services.

We appreciate your understanding, and as always, look forward to serving you.
