Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024

Permanent service or feeder.

(1) Each service or feeder of 200 amps or less, $79.

(2) Each service or feeder in excess of 200 amps but not more than 400 amps, $94.

(3) Each service or feeder in excess of 400 amps but not more than 600 amps, $156.

(4) Each service or feeder in excess of 600 amps but not more than 1,000 amps, $204.

(5) Each service or feeder over 1,000 amps or volts, $469.

(6) General Procedure for a Separate Service. If a structure has a separate service, the fee is based on the service size (amps), plus feeders, if any, plus the number of branch circuits.

(7) Fees in this rule are in addition to any other fees required under ORS 479.510 to 479.855.

(8) Where the service constitutes a load center, the permit fee must be calculated the same as any service panel. The charges must be for the size of the service and the branch circuits or feeders to the load center.

(9) Reconnect Only. This rule applies to reconnection where the service was disconnected for repair or by the serving utility company and no change in service capacity or location is made. This allows the replacement of a meter base, a service mast, a service panel, a subpanel, the feeder to one of the items listed or the repair or replacement of damaged service mast and meter on the exterior of a building. The $63 fee covers one inspection for this item.

(a) If a major violation of the service exists, a new service and new permit fee is required;

(b) It may also be used for house moves. If a major violation of the code or a dangerous condition exists in a house move, repair or replacement and a permit are required.

(10) Fees charged under this rule may not be charged both for amps and volts.

(11) In commercial and industrial buildings, separately metered premises that are divided from each other by walls are classified as a separate building for the purpose of computing permit fees. A different permit is required for each separate building:

(a) Master Service. For buildings with a master service, such as an office building, compute fees by the service (amps), the feeders (amps) and branch circuits. If there is more than one service, each service is charged separately along with its related feeders and branch circuits;

(b) Single Occupant. In single occupant buildings, the fee is based on the service (amps), the number of feeders (by amps) and branch circuits;

(c) Tenants. Where tenants are involved, the shell receives a permit for any service, feeders and branch circuits that involve only the shell. Each tenant space requires a separate permit. Each tenant space is charged for service (amps), the number of feeders by amps and branch circuits.
