Do I need a permit for window or exterior door replacement in Keizer?

Keizer does not issue residential building permits. Keizer does not run its own building program. The Oregon Building Codes Division Local Building Department Directory lists Marion County as the building department for Keizer for all permit types (structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing). The City of Keizer Building Permit Division takes applications at City Hall for single family homes, residential remodels and accessory structures on Marion County permit forms; Marion County Building Inspection (5155 Silverton Rd NE, Salem, 503-588-5147) handles plumbing with plan review, septic, deferred submittals, re-inspections and electrical with plan review.

The requirements below come from Oregon rules and describe the standard the work must still meet. They are not a statement that Keizer will issue you a permit.

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether window or exterior door replacement needs a permit in Keizer comes down to the details of your project.

The ORSC exempts door and window replacements from a building permit unless a structural member is changed or the door or window is required to be fire-resistance rated (R105.2 item 14). Cutting a new opening or changing the size of an existing one needs a building permit. New windows must meet the U-factor in ORSC Table N1101.1(1) even when no permit is required (N1104.4.4), and a replaced bedroom escape window must keep the required escape opening size.
