Marion County Public Right-of-Way Permits
In response to COVID-19, we are taking steps to protect both the public and our employees. Please be aware that we are continuing to operate with limited staff in the office. You may experience longer than usual wait times for in-person service.
We recommend that all LDEP Office customers
call
(503) 584-7714, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, before coming to our office so that we have the opportunity to assist you over the phone and hopefully save you a trip to the Public Works office. You may also email us at
MCLDEP@co.marion.or.us.
EVENT PERMITS -
As Marion County's COVID-19 risk level begins to lower, we are now accepting Event Permit applications with the anticipation that the County's risk level will continue to drop. Please refer to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) guidelines for public events. You can find current information from OHA at the following link:
https://coronavirus.oregon.gov/Pages/living-with-covid-19.aspx. Please be aware that it takes three weeks to process and issue an Event Permit. Note that approval for an event does not supersede OHA guidelines, and your permit may be canceled if OHA guidelines prohibit gatherings in excess of that which the permit allows at the time of the event.
If you will be working or holding an event within public right-of-way that is under Marion County jurisdiction a permit is required from Marion County Public Works Land Development Engineering and Permits. Follow the steps below to apply for and obtain a permit. For questions regarding the Application please see our
Application FAQ. If you have any additional questions, please call us at (503) 584-7714 and ask for "Right-of-Way Permits" or "LDEP", or email us at MCLDEP@co.marion.or.us.
