For those of you new to Oregon there is one thing you need to check on first when wanting to get permits for your property or if you're looking to purchase property, which is to verify your parcel is a legal parcel for development purposes. The one thing to understand is a tax lot is NOT a legal parcel necessarily, it is strictly for taxation purposes only. Presumption that a tax lot is a legal parcel is a very common mistake. This is one of the first things we verify when looking at a property for a feasibility.
It's important to note that permits will not be allowed on an illegal parcel. Despite what type of State allowances you are granted.
