- 01Section 105 provides permit coordination and submittal support for homeowners, contractors, design professionals, developers, and business owners. We help organize your application, identify submittal requirements, coordinate with the permitting authority, and keep your project moving through the review process. We can also assist with establishing preliminary addressing for your project, to submit to the AHJ for consideration.
- 02Permit requirements vary depending on the type of work, project location, and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). While some minor work may be exempt, many construction, alteration, repair, and trade projects require permits. Section 105 can help review your project and identify the applicable permitting requirements before you get started.
- 03No. Permit approval is determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). While approval cannot be guaranteed, our experience helps us prepare organized, complete submittals and proactively address common permitting issues that often halt or delay plan review and permit issuance.
- 04AHJ stands for Authority Having Jurisdiction. This is the city, county, state, or other agency responsible for reviewing plans, issuing permits, conducting inspections, and enforcing applicable codes and regulations.

- 09Yes. We can step in at different stages of the permitting process, including projects that have already been submitted or received review comments. We'll review the current status and determine how we can best assist moving forward.
- 10Processing times vary significantly depending on the project, jurisdiction, completeness of the documents, and current AHJ review times. We help manage the process efficiently, but review and approval timelines are ultimately controlled by the permitting authority.
- 11We can help review and coordinate correction comments with you and your project team. When revisions must be completed by an architect, engineer, contractor, or other professional, we'll help identify what is needed and coordinate the resubmittal.
- 12Section 105 is locally owned and operated out of Albany, Oregon. Service availability depends on the project type and jurisdiction. Contact us with your project location and a brief description of the work, and we'll confirm whether we can assist.
