A local historic policy for panels
Oregon City has two historic districts, McLoughlin and Canemah, and the Historic Review Board has a Solar Technology policy, HRB Policy 12. If your roof is in one, a reinstall may be reviewed under that policy, and projects meeting it can get staff approval without a board hearing. Tell us your address first.
The city portal, not the state one
Oregon City runs its permits through its own Citizen Self Service portal and lists a Solar PV installation permit as an application type. We ask the building division what a reinstall requires. PGE is the electric provider on the city Utility Providers page, so it is the shutdown contact.
Upper town, lower town roofs
Oregon City is split between a bench along the Willamette and a basalt bluff above it, so roofs vary a lot in exposure and pitch. The median home was built in 1992, and 65 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024). Read our removal and reinstall guide written for Oregon City homeowners.
