Permits and code
Commercial permits and the 2026 Oregon code
Commercial electrical work inside Eugene City limits is permitted through Building and Permit Services. Jobs that need plan review are also submitted through eBuild. Properties outside City limits get permits from the Lane County Building Program.
The 2026 Oregon Electrical Specialty Code took effect on October 1, 2026. It is based on the 2026 National Electrical Code. Work permitted from that date follows the new edition.
Ask for both the BCD electrical contractor license and the CCB license number before work starts. Oregon requires both for a business that does electrical work.
Before you call
- Building type and square footage
- Single-phase or three-phase service, if known

Keeping power on
Backup power for Eugene businesses
The January 2024 ice storm showed how long outages can last in Lane County. Businesses with refrigeration, servers or medical equipment lose the most when power stays off for days.
A commercial electrician can install a transfer switch, a generator inlet or a standby generator connection. The system must keep generator power off EWEB lines while the grid is down.
Plan this work in summer or fall. Permits, equipment orders and inspections take time, and storm season fills electricians' schedules.
Questions to ask
- Which loads must stay on?
- Portable generator inlet or permanent standby?
- Does the job need plan review?
