The building codes division of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services will be administering and enforcing Wasco County’s building inspection program on a temporary basis starting February 1. State officials met with County Commissioners to discuss the situation during the Commission’s Wednesday meeting. The building codes services were provided in Wasco County through Mid-Columbia Council of Governments, but that organization is being dissolved. Commissioner Scott Hege says the County is asking for more time to develop a permanent solution. Hege added he wants to see the County continue to communicate with the City of The Dalles to find collaboration on the subject. The state will be leasing space in the Wasco County Public Works Building to administer the building codes program.
