Process Changes at City Help Community Development
In 2019, the City of Madras identified housing as a strategic goal and adopted a progressive Housing Action Plan that includes several incentives for developers. Part of the plan included identifying and overcoming specific barriers to development. With the implementation of the Plan, development has been on the rise in the Madras area and the Community Development Department identified an opportunity to increase customer service by having structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or other related building improvements reviewed by the City prior to being submitted to the County.
This change in process will begin May 1, 2020, and is expected to minimize delays, decrease time spent on unexpected revisions to plans, and increase predictability for the Building Permit Review process.
Applicants can access a building permit application on the City’s website at www.ci.madras.or.us. Questions about permits or the new process can be submitted to Nicholas -Snead at nsnead@ci.madras.or.us or by calling 541-475-2344.
