Fire code and inspections in Portland

Commercial fire inspections and fire protection system permits in Portland are handled by the Portland Fire & Rescue, Fire Marshal's Office. We schedule inspections, testing and repairs to keep your building current with what they look for.

Oregon's current statewide fire code is the 2025 Oregon Fire Code, effective October 1, 2025. Portland also publishes a local Portland Fire Code; its fire code page lists a 2026 Portland Fire Code but does not state which edition is in effect. (source)

Inspection reports: ITM reports go to Portland Fire & Rescue through the Portland Fire Hub (ITM Hub, itm.portland.gov) within 30 days of the visit. The Citizen Portal is no longer used. (source) We file reports where your fire marshal requires it, so you are not chasing paperwork.

Local requirement: Contractors need a City of Portland Contractor Endorsement to inspect or service fire protection systems. For fire alarms, a state-licensed electrician qualified for fire alarm work is accepted. Non-monitored local alarms are exempt. (source)

Your fire marshal (the authority having jurisdiction) has the final say, so we confirm local requirements before work is scheduled.
