Forms, Permits, and Applications

• For all public improvements other than street trees, do not use this form. Contact the Public Works Department Engineering Division directly to ask about bonds, bonding, or performance guarantees for all other public improvements.
• Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) 4.02.08 "Performance Guarantees" addresses bonds, bonding, and performance guarantees.
• City acceptance, review, and approval of a bond or performance guarantee request is administrative, discretionary, and not guaranteed.

The City regulates signs first by what group they fall into: temporary or permanent. There are many types of signs in each group (pole, monument, banner, A-frame, etc.). The allowance for each type of sign will vary based on the zoning district.

Every new sign needs an approved Sign Permit.  

This page is a guide, outlining the development standards and other considerations for constructing a fence or free-standing wall on private property.
 

General Rules for Fences & Walls:

• A Fence Permit is required for any new or modified fence or wall.

• Fences and walls must not encroach into the public right-of-way. The curb or sidewalk are usually not the right-of-way boundary therefore it is important to determine the location of your property lines prior to constructing a fence.
