Do I need a permit for residential demolition in Tigard?

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Residential demolition usually requires a permit in Oregon. Confirm the specifics with Tigard.

Oregon DEQ requires an asbestos survey by an accredited inspector before demolishing any residential building built before Jan. 1, 2004, and a copy of the survey report must be on site during the work (OAR 340-248-0270). The owner-occupant exemption that applies to a homeowner's own renovation does not apply to demolition: friable asbestos must be removed by a DEQ-licensed abatement contractor before demolition, and nonfriable removal requires a DEQ notification. Demolition is outside the statutory authority of the ORSC (R101.2.3.1), so whether a demolition permit is needed, and what it requires, is set by the city or county; confirm with the local building or planning office.
