Architects & Builders
The first step in participating in the Pre-Approved ADU Design Library is to have your ADU plans reviewed and approved by the City of Bend. This is done through their Master Re-Issue Permit Program, and we have provided helpful links to their systems and processes below.
Once your plan set is approved by the City of Bend as a “Master Permit,” you are now ready to submit your pre-approved plans to the Bend Chamber for use in the Design Library.
STEP 1—Approval with the City
Online Permit Center Portal
All City building permits are processed electronically with electronic review within their CityView software. Here is a link to the Permit Center Portal where you will create an account or sign into an existing account to apply and submit your plan set.
Online Permit Center Portal Help
Navigating new software can be challenging the first time around, so the City has provided some Portal Help Videos.
You may also reach out directly to them for assistance at building@bendoregon.gov.
Master Re-Issue Permit Program
Once you have access to the Permit Center Portal with your own login account, you will want to compile the required plan-set documents and submittal items. Here is a link to the City’s Master Re-Issue Program Policy, which provides a list of required review documents as well as an outlined step-by-step process for the application in their CityView software.
Again, if you need assistance with these documents, you may email the City’s permitting team at building@bendoregon.gov.
