Update Oregon inspector certification renewals due by September 30, 2024

The deadline to complete all 2023 Oregon Inspector Code Chage training for the Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code and the Oregon Residential Specialty Code is September 30. 2024.  If you have not completed your code change training and submited a self-certification form to BCD by September 30, 2024, your certification will expire as of October 1, 2024, and you may not conduct inspections under the expired certification.

 All BCD inspector certificate holders are required to complete a code change class provided by the division and self-certify to the division that they have completed the training by September 30, 2024, to maintain their certification. If you have not completed your code update training, your certification(s) will expire on October 1, 2024. If your certifications have expired, you may not conduct inspections until new credentials have been issued.  To obtain new credentials you must apply to take the certification examination for your expired credential and pass the examination or, if you have an applicable ICC or other nationally recognized certificate, apply to have that credential converted to an Oregon certificate.  Until you have obtained a new credential, you are not eligible to conduct inspections in Oregon.  If you have questions, please contact the training program at codechange.bcd@oregon.gov .
