Section 1. Chapter 15.04, Building and Construction Code and

A. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this
Chapter, the Deschutes County Community Development Department is
authorized to allow the commencement and undertaking of certain
construction work for certain types of single-family residences
served by sewer and certain types of garages prior to the issuance
of building permits. The Building Safety Director shall have the
discretion to limit the kind of construction project to which this
section applies and the extent to which such construction can
proceed before building permits must be issued. Such discretion
shall be exercised in a manner calculated to protect public safety
and to limit applicability to projects with a very high probability
of gaining ultimate approval under applicable land use and building
codes.
B. In all cases, owners or their authorized representatives
shall have applied for required building permits. Before
commencing construction under this section, owners and any general
contractor employed by the owner shall be required to sign a form
of agreement with the County, acting by and through the Building
Official or the Director of the Community Development Department or
such other persons as the Board of County Commissioners may
designate, by which the owner and any general contractor agree at
a minimum to assume all risks associated with proceeding before
building permits are issued, agree to call for required inspections
under the applicable Building Code and to correct any construction
deficiencies noted, agree to take remedial action, including but
not limited to removal of construction work, in the event that the
plans submitted for approval are ultimately not approved by the
Community Development Department, and to indemnify the County for
any damage suffered by reason of commencing and undertaking
construction under this section.

preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this Ordinance takes effect on its
