A recent scamming effort has targeted applicants to city land use decisions, infrastructure projects, and other city business with illegitimate fee collection requests. Be wary of fee requests in excess of what Molalla City Staff has conveyed to you and reach out to our staff directly if you receive any payment requests that look suspicious. The City will NEVER request a wire payment.
PUBLIC NOTICE: On December 10, 2025, City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-12: Amending Molalla Municipal Code, Chapter 2.04.010 City Council Meetings. Regular City Council meetings will start at 6:00pm beginning on January 14, 2026.
Pre-Application Meetings are required for all Type II or Type III processes. Other projects may request pre-application conferences at the Type II rate.
Pre-Application conferences allow applicants the opportunity to receive project feedback towards a successful project from Molalla Staff and applicable agencies prior to application submission. At a minimum Molalla Planning, Engineering, and Fire will address code standards applicable to the project. Other outside agencies may include ODOT, PGE, Clackamas Building Department, DSL, and DEQ if project components will be regulated through those agencies. The quality of the application you provide will dictate the quality of the information provided at the pre-application conference.
Review our submission guide to understand the process.
Complete the digital form below.
Note: You must call Community Development to pay the permit fee after submitting.
Meetings occur two weeks after a complete submittal. Applicants meet with City and agency staff at the Community Development Department to discuss project requirements and receive feedback (hybrid format available).
Contact the Community Development Department. We are here to help.
