What changes when you build or remodel in Corvallis
City rules below last verified against corvallisoregon.gov in September 2026.
City or county permits. Inside city limits, building permits, plan review, and inspections run through City of Corvallis Development Services, part of the city’s Community Development Department. Properties outside city limits go through the jurisdiction that covers them, such as Benton County, where Corvallis is the county seat. We confirm which one applies before we price any permitted work, then handle the applications and inspections for our scope.
ADUs are allowed on most residential properties. The city permits accessory dwelling units outright on most residential properties under Land Development Code Section 4.9.40, through the building permit process. An ADU can be up to 900 square feet or 85 percent of the main home’s floor area, whichever is less, with one per property, and it must include sleeping, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. We size and design to those limits from the first sketch. Read the city’s ADU rules.
Historic properties need a check first. Homes listed on the Corvallis Register of Historic Landmarks and Districts or the National Register may need a Historic Preservation Permit before work starts. The city names the Avery-Helm, College-Hill West, and Oregon State University historic districts, and routine maintenance is exempt. If your home is near campus or in an older neighborhood, we confirm its status before design. See the city’s historic preservation permits.
Rain is the constant. Western Oregon’s rainy season is hard on siding, trim, decks, and crawl spaces in the valley too. Most of what we build on the coast is about keeping water out, so exterior work is detailed to shed water, and when a remodel opens a wall and finds dry rot, we price the fix honestly and repair it before we close it back up.
Recent projects from our crew
