Eaves in Oregon

Local option Not adopted here that we can source. Your county could adopt ORSC R327.

For Oregon eaves, the requirement for Oregon eaves is ORSC R327 noncombustible underside. On Oregon eaves, it is shown as available for local adoption. Read the Oregon eaves rule, then compare 1 matched Oregon eaves product.

Before Oregon eaves work begins, review Oregon eaves project checks. Those Oregon eaves checks flag scope still to confirm. The Oregon eaves links keep the rule and product list together.

The rule

Available for local adoption “The exposed underside of rafter or truss eaves and enclosed soffits, where any portion of the framing is less than 12 feet (3658 mm) above grade or similar surface below, shall be protected by one of the following: 1. Noncombustible material.”

ORSC R327 noncombustible underside. Where locally adopted, Oregon R327 includes noncombustible material as one protection path for specified eaves, soffits, patio and porch ceilings, floor projections, and underfloor areas.

Open checks for this answer

These checks stay open because the sourced instrument leaves them to the official record, not because this page skipped them:

  • Whether a local body has adopted the published instrument.
  • The official boundary that would put a parcel inside the application.
  • Confirmation from the building official for this project.
  • Whether this project type is in scope of the instrument.

No exact local application record is normalized for this node.
